Max Holloway is facing another big challenge coming this April 13, 2019 at UFC 236. As expected.. Max Holloway is trying to become a double champ too. He will fight against Dustin Poirier, one of the division's most feared fighter. Dustin was supposed to fight Nate Diaz last year but it didn't materialize because of the heavier demands of Nate. Dustin was fresh from victory against former champion Eddie Alvarez who is now fighting for ONE FC.
Dustin Poirier said that this year is going to be his year. "Fighting Max is an honor, he's a great champ but I am better than him on ground or even on stand up, his cardio is something that I am not worried about, I put a lot of effort before this fight so I am sure my hands will be raised on April 13." - Dustin Poirier.
Max is confident that after winning the interim title against Dustin he will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov next, Khabib was suspended until the late month of 2019. According to Khabib, he is willing to fight anyone that is put in front of him.
Max Holloway was favored to win this fight, according to MMA experts his stand up game is better than Dustin, when it comes to ground... Max is very hard to take down and his cardio cannot be matched by anyone. Most experts predicted that this is going to be finished in round 2 or 3 by knockout in favor of Max Holloway.
"At the end of the day, it is what it is, Dustin is a good fighter, I respect him but he is fighting the wrong guy, he keeps on telling that I am too small for him but we will see when we fight inside the octagon" - Max Holloway.
Dustin Poirier is coming from a four fight winning streak that includes big names like Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje, Anthony Pettis and Jim Miller. According to him he is confident that he can finish the fight via Knockout in just round 4.
