Ilia Topuria is unbothered by Max Holloway's verbal jabs over his continuous flaunting of an inauthentic BMF title. Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23-8 UFC) captured the BMF strap at UFC 300 in April 2024 when he scored a last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje.

Ilia Topuria questions Max Holloway’s BMF status, claiming he exposed him and suggesting Holloway isn’t the rightful BMF champion.

After announcing his retirement at UFC 318, Poirier penned an emotional message to Mixed Martial Arts in a recent social media post. Many UFC legends, including Daniel Cormier and former opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov, have paid tribute to Poirier in recent days.

Max Holloway added another epic chapter to his storied MMA career Saturday night, successfully defending his BMF title with a unanimous decision victory over longtime rival Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 318 in Louisiana.

Prior to the BMF title fight between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier, UFC 318 has a stacked lineup of preliminary bouts to get fans ready for the main event.

Max Holloway defeated Dustin Poirier and produced another five-round war that is fitting of the belt that he currently holds. Having stopped ‘Blessed’ at UFC 308 last year, Topuria trolled Holloway on social media by claiming that the BMF belt is still his, posting a photo of his replica title.

Bettors must then place a £1 qualifying wager on the over 4.5 rounds on Holloway vs Poirier at the normal price. If the fight does go beyond five rounds, you’ll receive a cash payout at the normal odds and £30 in free bets.

Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier will conclude their epic rivalry as the pair meet in a trilogy bout for the symbolic BMF title at UFC 318 in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday.
