Max Holloway Vs Dustin Poirier 2 Full Fight

Remember That Time? Holloway Met Poirier...Again?

Okay, let's be real. We all love a good rematch, right? Especially when it involves two absolute legends: Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier.

But sometimes, just sometimes, the sequel doesn't quite hit the same. Don't @ me!

Round 1: Different Weights, Different Story?

This wasn't your average fight. Holloway, the featherweight king, jumped up to lightweight. Big move! He was facing Poirier, a seasoned vet in that division.

I remember thinking, "This is gonna be fireworks!" And yeah, it was...kind of. Poirier came out swinging.

He looked like he'd been saving up all his power punches just for Max. Holloway absorbed a lot of damage, that's for sure.

The "Blessed" Era Tested

Holloway is famous for his insane volume. He throws punches like he's got unlimited ammo. But against Poirier, it just felt...different.

Maybe it was the size difference. Maybe it was Poirier's power. Whatever it was, Holloway's usual magic wasn't quite working.

Don’t get me wrong, Holloway had his moments! But they were fleeting.

An Unpopular Opinion Incoming… Brace Yourselves

Here it comes. Deep breath. I think... I think the fight was a bit overhyped. There, I said it!

Don’t get me wrong, both fighters gave it their all. It’s just that the build up felt bigger than the actual fight.

Maybe because we'd seen them both in so many epic battles, our expectations were sky-high. Perhaps too high.

Poirier's Power Prevails?

Poirier showed off his power, his grit, his everything! He definitely earned that win.

He was landing the heavier shots, controlling the pace. The fight felt a little one-sided, wouldn't you agree?

And no disrespect to Max. He's a warrior. But Poirier was just on another level that night. It was his time.

Did Holloway Bite Off More Than He Could Chew?

The weight difference played a factor, didn't it? Holloway, usually so durable, looked a bit overwhelmed by Poirier's strength.

It was a good learning experience for him, I guess. Sometimes, even the best of us have to admit when the odds are stacked against us.

It just felt like Holloway wasn't 100% himself, if that makes sense.

Let the Debates Begin!

So, there you have it. My slightly controversial take on Holloway vs. Poirier 2. I'm ready for the backlash!

But honestly, wasn't it a little... underwhelming? Compared to their legends, at least. I love them both but, it is what it is.

Let's be honest, the best parts was the lead up.

I'm just saying, maybe some fights are better left to the imagination.
