Dustin Poirier to walk out with Lil Wayne for his UFC 318 retirement fight against Max Holloway in New Orleans.

UFC 318 headliner Dustin Poirier spoke to MMA Junkie and reporters at media day for his BMF title retirement fight vs. Max Holloway on Saturday in New Orleans.

Poirier announced that Platinum rapper, Lil Wayne will be walking him out for his championship bout against Max Holloway. Lil Wayne is also a Louisiana native. He made the announcement during a pre-fight press conference when asked if Lil Wayne would be walking him out. Poirier stated, “Wayne is walking me out. 100 percent”.

Poirier bounced back in a big way, emerging victorious from a brutal and bloody war with Pettis that had many touting it as the Fight of the Year. The finish came somewhat anticlimactically in round three, however, when Pettis appeared to tap out with Poirier on top of him out of nowhere.

Daniel Cormier admits it won't be easy commentating Dustin Poirier's final appearance in the octagon at UFC 318.
