Max Holloway is pushing for a radical, and perhaps controversial, change after defending his BMF title at UFC 318. 'Blessed' played spoiler to Dustin Poirier's retirement, finally notching a win against 'The Diamond' to end their score at 2-1 to Poirier.

Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23- 8 UFC) retained his BMF title by outlasting the retiring Dustin Poirier (30-10 MMA, 22-9 UFC) in Saturday's main event at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Holloway had Poirier in trouble a couple of times and outstruck "The Diamond" over the course of the fight. Cormier was very impressed with Holloway's performance.

As much as the UFC 318 crowd was pulling for the retiring Dustin Poirier, Max Holloway is still a certified "BMF."
