One of the most beloved fighters in the history of the lightweight category, a fighter who lived this sport with his heart and soul, is ready to enter the octagon for the last time. The experienced 35-year-old in his last appearance, which is scheduled for July 19 in New Orleans, will once again cross gloves with Max Holloway, a fighter he has already defeated twice.
It will be a real test for both fighters, and the fans have clear sympathy for Dustin, who will say goodbye to this sport.
The first time they met was when both were still young and inexperienced, while the second meeting in 2019 was for the interim lightweight belt - and both times the fighter from Louisiana won. This match will be completely different from everything we have seen so far, with the necessary excitement factor that we have been missing.
Lil Wayne will also be in attendance
In order for everything to be right, he wanted to be escorted to the ring by one of the biggest from his country - Lil Wayne. The legendary rapper, who also hails from Louisiana, is expected to accompany him as he heads to the octagon.
“His man Mac Maine told me Wayne is in,” the legendary fighter told Full Violence. “There’s still time until the fight, so we’ll see, but for now – yes.”
Lil Wayne will certainly be an important figure in this story, and there’s no doubt that he will be an additional motivation for the popular UFC fighter. It’s clear that we can expect a real spectacle, with plenty of great moves.
Dana White said briefly: “This is for Dustin. He’s a big star, he’s done a lot for this sport. He wanted to finish his career in New Orleans – and here we are.”
It will be a night to celebrate everything this fighter has brought to the UFC, and he has brought a lot.
Poirier has left a lasting mark that no one can erase.
