Boxing legend Mike Tyson expects to be upset after watching the UFC 318 main event.
Dustin Poirier will retire from MMA after having one last dance in his home state on Saturday night.
Max Holloway stands in the way of ‘The Diamond’ ending his legendary career with a BMF title win.
Ahead of the UFC 318 main event, Mike Tyson has predicted the fighter he’s rooting for will fall short.
Mike Tyson shares his UFC 318 prediction
Tyson was sitting in the front row when Holloway scored the greatest KO in MMA history at UFC 300.
‘Blessed’ put Justin Gaethje face-down on the floor with one second left on the clock in April 2024.
Even though Poirier has already beaten Holloway twice, ‘Iron Mike’ believes he will fall short when they face off for the third and final time at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Tyson is rooting for the fairytale ending, but he expects Holloway to spoil the party at UFC 318.
“I want Dustin to win, but I think Max is gonna get him,” he told NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.
“It’s gonna be very exciting, though.
“Very exciting, you won’t lose your money on this.
“You are gonna be very satisfied with the fight.”
Dustin Poirier reveals his UFC 318 vision
Naturally, Poirier sees things going differently than Tyson and everyone else backing against him.
The 36-year-old recently revealed the game plan he’ll use to beat Holloway, and retire on top at UFC 318.
“In my mind, I get his timing early, beat him to the punch,” Poirier predicted.
“I hit him with shots that hurt him, make him miss, [and] make him pay by being better that night.
“He’s a great fighter, but [on] July 19th, I’m better.”
