^ Yup, and watch both Holloway and Poirier after the face off at the pre fight press conference. Poirier is def ready to scrap... Holloway was just standing there kinda looking like he wasn't interested. I think Poirier wanted this fight and Holloway was just happy to come along for for the ride.
Another interesting thing is Dan Ige and Patricio Pitbull face off. Ige is actually taller than Patricio. Usually Ige is the smaller guy. This makes me more comfy for my bet.
But in the first fight Poirier won.
I think their 1st fight was at featherweight in 2012, Poirier won by triangle.
2nd fight was at lightweight in 2019 Poirier won by decision. Holloway held the FW belt when they fought.
2019 to 2025 is a long time in MMA years.
I meant Poirier vs Gaethje... Poirier won at R4 via TKO.

Poirier lost to Justin Gaethje in 2023.
While Max Holloway defeated Gaethje in 2024.
"MMA math" = Poirier is underdog.
But of course, styles determine the outcome of fights.
And so it may not be so simple.
