Seven years later, Dustin Poirier does it again. After a five-round war, ‘The Diamond’ once again managed to defeat Max Holloway, but this time around also becoming the interim lightweight champion at UFC 236, in Atlanta, Georgia. On Twitter, pro fighters praised both performances.
Holloway . has been tagged more in this first round with Poirier than in any fight I can remember, and he's also hurt Dustin. But it looks like Dustin's power may be too much. #ufc236 pic.twitter.com/pXxBb5GanL

I’m surprised by the striking difference TBH.
