Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier made weight for their final weigh-in ahead of UFC 318 on July 19. Holloway steps into the Octagon after a knockout loss to Ilia Topuria, where he missed out on reclaiming the featherweight title.

Dustin Poirier will receive a hero's welcome in his native Louisiana at UFC 318 when he battles Max Holloway for a third time in their careers.
