Dustin Poirier measures up Max Holloway

Dustin Poirier to walk out with Lil Wayne for his UFC 318 retirement fight against Max Holloway in New Orleans.
After hinting at the possibility in recent weeks, Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) confirmed Wednesday that rap legend Lil Wayne will accompany him during his final UFC walk. Lil Wayne's presence won't deter Poirier from sticking with his classic walkout music, however. Poirier will still walk to James Brown's "The Boss" as he long has.
Poirier bounced back in a big way, emerging victorious from a brutal and bloody war with Pettis that had many touting it as the Fight of the Year. The finish came somewhat anticlimactically in round three, however, when Pettis appeared to tap out with Poirier on top of him out of nowhere.
Dustin Poirier never won the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship, but he isn't dwelling on it going into his retirement fight.
Daniel Cormier admits it won't be easy commentating Dustin Poirier's final appearance in the octagon at UFC 318.
