What time is Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier 3? Walkouts for UFC 318 main event
Dustin Poirier will get a proper sendoff in his home state of Louisiana when he meets Max Holloway for the BMF title to close out his career – and their trilogy. This lightweight bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, July 19 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Poirier and Holloway first met in February 2012, with Poirier winning by first-round submission in a featherweight bout at UFC 143. The two men squared off again in April 2019 for the interim lightweight championship, with Poirier battering Holloway to win a lopsided unanimous decision in the UFC 236 Fight of the Night. Six years later, Poirier, 36, and Holloway, 33, will go at it again – which, for Poirier, will be the last dance as he's announced he will retire afterward. Holloway is looking to rebound from the first knockout loss of his career last October, when he was finished by then-featherweight champ Ilia Topuria. Holloway has since declared he is done competing at 145 pounds and hopes to assert himself as a 155-pound title contender. Poirier, who is 3-3 in his past six fights, is coming off a submission defeat to then-lightweight champ Islam Makhachev in his third failed attempt at claiming the undisputed 155-pound title. Poirier never has lost two consecutive fights in his career. Here are the walkout times for the UFC 318 main event between Holloway and Poirier. When does the UFC 318 fight card start? The UFC 318 lineup consists of 13 fights. Early prelims start at 6 p.m. ET, prelims at 8 p.m. ET, and the pay-per-view main card at 10 p.m. ET. Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier 3 walkout time As the main event, Holloway and Poirier are expected to make their walks to the octagon at approximately 12:15 a.m. ET. The fight streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view.

UFC 318 LIVE streaming info: Preview, fight cards, when and where to watch Dustin Poirier's last fight?
PREVIEW Dustin Poirier will step into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) octagon for the last time when he takes on reigning BMF champion Max Holloway on Sunday. Holloway claimed the title with an emphatic finish of Justin Gaethje last year at UFC 300. He moved back down to featherweight following that win with designs on ascending to the throne once again, only to be felled by Ilia Topuria. ALSO READ | Derrick Lewis unleashes his beast mode on Tallison Teixeira The BMF belt is a gimmick UFC title that was created for a UFC match featuring Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, and has been a mainstay ever since its creation back in 2019. Poirier and Holloway are intimately familiar with one another, having fought twice in the past. The two first met almost 13 years ago at UFC 143, when Holloway, then 20, made his promotional debut. Poirier, an emerging featherweight prospect at the time, submitted the Hawaiian in the first round with a triangle armbar, securing his fourth consecutive UFC win. They faced off again in 2019, with the interim featherweight title at stake. Poirier completed the double over Holloway, winning by unanimous decision at UFC 236.
