The wheels are churning to make Dustin Poirier’s retirement fight as special as possible.
Poirier (30-9) will make his final Octagon walk against Max Holloway (26-8) at a href="/events/UFC-318-Holloway-vs-Poirier-3-107850">UFC 318 on July 19 in front of his home fans at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. “The Diamond” recently revealed a special mouthguard for his retirement fight to mark the end of a legendary career. The Lafayette, Louisiana, native will compete wearing a diamond-themed gumshield that says “Last Dance” in golden print. The piece was presented to Poirier by Damage Control Mouthguards.
Poirier made his UFC debut in 2011 after the promotion acquired World Extreme Cagefighting.
