Congratulations to Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori, but there’s no way the UFC 318 Fight of the Night bonus should’ve gone to them.

At least that’s how Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier feel about it.

Holloway and Poirier put on a Fight of the Year candidate in Saturday night’s main event at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Holloway beat Poirier by unanimous decision in their trilogy, which also served as “The Diamond’s” retirement fight.

While Holloway vs. Poirier 3 was full of action and big moments, including each man knocking the other down in the second round, an extra $50,000 went to Allen and Vettori instead. Allen came away with a three-round unanimous decision win over Vettori.

Backstage after UFC 318 concluded, Holloway and Poirier found out together that they were snubbed for the bonus. Their reaction was caught on video (via X), with Holloway calling the UFC’s decision “bullsh*t” and Poirier highlighting that “we knocked each other out in the same round.”

Holloway reiterated his disbelief to reporters during the UFC 318 post-fight news conference.

“I hope you guys give sh*t to (Dana White),” Holloway said. “How the hell did we not get Fight of the Night, bro? What is he thinking, bro? C’mon, Dana.”

Holloway and Poirier concluded their rivalry with Poirier up 2-1 after “The Diamond” won the first two encounters in 2012 and 2019 before Holloway’s victory Saturday night.
