<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-holloway" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Max Holloway</a> is fresh off one of the biggest wins in his career, but this time around, he is making headlines because of his take on the main event of UFC 319. Dricus Du Plessis will defend his middleweight title against Khamzat Chimaev in Chicago.



For Holloway, it is quite insane to have Chimaev as the favorite. “I like both guys. Both guys are awesome. This is crazy. I understand why, but this is crazy. The champion, especially with who he beat, is an underdog. It’s kinda crazy. The reason why he is, I understand who Chimaev is.”



More importantly, Holloway expressed how he feels people should respect Du Plessis more. “You can’t disrespect the champion, that’s why. Look at who he beat. He beat a who’s who.”



<h2>Why is Du Plessis the underdog?</h2>



Du Plessis is 9-0 in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ufc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UFC</a> and has already four wins against former champions. He beat Sean Strickland twice, Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker. With this resume and two title defenses already, why is he an underdog then?

Well, he is fighting an unbeaten challenger. But even more so, Chimaev is the boogeyman of the middleweight division and has made most of his fights look really easy. Du Plessis doesn’t have a very aesthetically pleasing style, he is kind of unorthodox and unpredictable. Chimaev? He will shoot for a takedown quickly and will maul you or submit you very fast.

<h2>This one is most likely not going the distance</h2>



Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev are not paid by the hour and they know it. Out of his 23 career wins, Du Plessis has only gone the distance three times. He’s finished nine opponents by knockout and 11 by submission.



Chimaev has a 14-0 record and has 12 wins by finish. He splits them evenly as six have been knockouts and six submissions. ‘Borz‘ has deadly ground and pound and transitions to get the neck. Both of these fighters are skilled and able to finish the fight at any moment.

UFC 318 delivered the goods with plenty of incredible fights, lots of finishes and major upsets. It was all capped off by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-holloway" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Max Holloway</a> successfully defending his BMF belt against Dustin Poirier. After the bout, Poirier took off his gloves as he rides into the retirement sunset. But then, the question is: what’s next for Holloway?



Thankfully, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ufc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UFC</a> always has a post-fight press conference where the president Dana White was asked about Holloway’s future. The situation for him is tricky. After losing to Ilia Topuria at featherweight, Holloway decided to open new opportunities for him at 155. The problem was Topuria then decided to go up and grabbed the ligthweight title. This was awful news for Max who saw how the one who beat him ‘invaded’ his new division.



However, according to Dana White, Holloway “is in a great position… he’s ranked number 4 in the world, anything is possible for Max now.” This is big! After all, it’s not common that the UFC even considers a rematch after a vicious KO loss in the first fight.



<h2>Holloway was an absolute beast at UFC 318</h2>



The whole event was centered on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dustin-poirier" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>‘s retirement. Having said that, Holloway didn’t get caught in the sentimental wave. He was there to spoil the party and he did. Two of the three judges gave him four rounds as he won 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47 to retain his belt. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250720_BUS_444535_max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-1024x576_4788f004.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Holloway defeated Poirier to defend the BMF title " class="wp-image-444546" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20104437/max-holloway-vs-dustin-poirier.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Max Holloway is declared the winner by unanimous decision against Dustin Poirier after their lightweight bout during UFC 318: Holloway vs Poirier 3 in New Orleans, Louisiana.</figcaption></figure>



Holloway was poised and hurt Poirier. Not only that, when he got hurt, he was able to weather the storm and regain control with his volume and speed. Holloway connected 198 significant strikes against Poirier’s 109. It was a vintage Holloway performance.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/dustin-poirier-net-worth"></div>


<h2>How would Topuria vs. Holloway II go?</h2>



Topuria is the only man to knock out Max Holloway in the octagon. However, the third round finish doesn’t mean Holloway got dominated. In fact, he had more total strikes and significant strikes landed up to the point of the finish. 



Two of the judges had Topuria winning the two previous rounds and one had it 1-1. In fact, the first round was Holloway commanding the pace, but Topuria’s power might have swerved some of the judges. In a rematch, Holloway should adjust. He’s looked really good at 155. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ilia-topuria" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Topuria</a> is knocking everyone he shares the octagon with and has established as the boogeyman in the UFC.

The BMF title takes center stage as Max Holloway defends his belt vs. Dustin Poirier in the main event of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ufc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UFC</a> 318. This will also be the ‘Diamond’s‘ retirement fight, which gives it an added spice to an already incredible bout. However, how much will the winner get paid?



According to Sportkeeda, Poirier’s last fight had a $1.2 million payout in a losing effort against Islam Makhachev. As for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-holloway" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Holloway</a>, he took home around $2.4 million despite getting knocked out by Ilia Topuria.



For this bout, the projections state that Holloway will at least get $2.7 million just to show up, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dustin-poirier" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Poirier</a> will get a minimum of $1.6 million. This means the winner could potentially get north of $4 million when you count possible bonuses, win money, television rights, and PPV points, where it’s reported both will have a piece of. 



<h2>Money, belt and glory</h2>



This fight is charged with nostalgia, hype, and nervousness. These two are as beloved as they come in the UFC, so it’s that kind of matchup where people want both to win. However, this is fighting, one is taking home more money, the BMF belt, and the glory. Whether it’s Max Holloway ascending in the division, or Dustin Poirier riding into the sunset with another accolade, this fight means a lot.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250719_BUS_444017_max-vs-dustin-1024x576_68cdcba8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Max Holloway and Dusitn Poirier fought in 2019" class="wp-image-444035" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/19105814/max-vs-dustin.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dustin Poirier punches Max Holloway during the UFC 236 event at State Farm Arena on April 13, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia.</figcaption></figure>



For both, this is a must-win fight. If Poirier loses, he ends his career on a loss and given that UFC 318 will be in his hometown of New Orleans, it’s double pain. As for Holloway, he would become the first fighter to lose multiple trilogies 0-3 (Volkanovski being the other one). Max would also lose spots in the ranking, lose the BMF belt and getting beat by a retiring fighter. This goes well and beyond money.

<h2>UFC 318 will be memorable</h2>



First of, there is no way Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway don’t give the fans a memorable battle. Literally, these two have never been in a boring fight. However, the other fights are very exciting too.



Here’s the rest of the main card of UFC 318:

Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirier purse: How much does the winner get at UFC 318? - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-holloway" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Max Holloway</a> will face Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 318 in New Orleans. This will mark the end of the Diamond’s career and, deservedly so, that’s the main story of the event. However, Holloway wants to play spoiler and he has good reasons to do so. He has lots in stake.



Not only is Holloway putting his BMF title on the line, but he is also facing a tough “accolade” to have. If he loses, Holloway would have the not-so-wanted distinction of losing two trilogies in full. 



Trilogies are not often seen in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ufc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UFC</a>, however, most of them have one thing in common. There has to be a win for each side to warrant a third matchup. Well, Holloway already lost a full trilogy to Alex Volkanovski. Max also is 0-2 vs. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dustin-poirier" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Poirier</a>. Even if Max is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, having the distinction of being the only UFC fighter to be 0-3 against two different opponents is not what he’d like.



<h2>The bouts have been great though</h2>



Now, reading that, you might assume he was dominated in every single bout. Well, that’s not particularly the case. The first trilogy completed was the once with Volkanovski. The first fight was absolutely close, but Volk edged him on the scorecards to end Holloway’s eternal run as the featherweight champion. The second bout was even closer, with many scoring it in favor of Max. However, the third one was Volk at his best, dominating every single moment.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250717_BUS_442982_Dustin-Poirier-2-1024x576_1c3badd7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Dustin Poirier in 2024" class="wp-image-442931" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/17140132/Dustin-Poirier-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dustin Poirier weighs in during the UFC 302 Ceremonial Weigh-in at Prudential Center on May 31, 2024.</figcaption></figure>



As for Dustin’s fights, they are lowkey tricky to explain. Only two men have been able to finish Holloway inside of the octagon. One of them is Poirier, who secured a triangle armbar against Holloway in Max’s UFC debut. Years later, in 2019, they fought for the interim lightweight bout. It was an incredible fight that ended 4th in the ‘Fight of the Year’ category. Poirier, however, won 49-46 on all three judges’ scorecards.

<h2>There are good things if Holloway wins vs. Poirier too</h2>



This is not the first time Holloway is tasked with retiring a legend. He was also the farewell fight for The Korean Zombie. He won that bout by knockout. However, this time is much different. Zombie was really done when he fought Holloway. Poirier, instead, is still at an elite level of fighting. 



There is another couple of streaks Holloway might consider. No BMF champion has ever defended the title. The first one was Jorge Masvidal. He retired. Then, Poirier and Gaethje fought for the vacant BMF belt. During his first defense, Gaethje was dominated and knocked out by Holloway. Hence, this title has never been successfully defended.



Another streak is the ‘Topuria blessing‘ stat. Yes, Ilia Topuria destroys everyone on his way, but weirdly enough, his UFC victims have gone to win the very next bout they have. Holloway’s last trip to the octagon was, in fact, a KO loss to Topuria, so if the trend is right, he should win this contest.

<h2>How much does Max Holloway earn per fight?</h2>



Max Holloway’s fight earnings vary based on the event’s profile and his contractual terms. For instance, at UFC 308, he earned a total payout of $2.432 million, which included base salary, win bonuses and additional incentives. Typically, his base pay ranges from $200,000 to $300,000 per fight, with additional bonuses for performance and victories.



<h2>Max Holloway’s highest-earning fights</h2>



Max Holloway’s biggest paydays have come during his most anticipated showdowns—title defenses and high-stakes main events…



UFC 300 vs Justin Gaethje At UFC 300 (April 13, 2024), he faced <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-gaethje">Justin Gaethje</a> for the symbolic BMF belt. He scored a jaw-dropping walk-off knockout in the final second, and because of a special bonus structure, earned $300,000 for Fight of the Night and another $300,000 for Performance of the Night—a grand total of $600,000 just in bonuses.



UFC 308 vs Ilia Topuria Though he came up short, he still pocketed a hefty $2.432 million for headlining UFC 308, according to leaked payslips. That figure reflects the UFC’s willingness to reward its most bankable fighters—even in defeat.



UFC 231 vs Brian Ortega Before these mega events, he secured a significant payday at UFC 231 in December 2018. He earned around $490,000—a base purse plus win payout—for defending his featherweight title against Brian Ortega.



<h2>Max Holloway’s endorsements</h2>



While Max Holloway’s earnings inside the cage are impressive, his financial strategy extends into the world of endorsements. One of his earliest major deals came in 2017, when he partnered with Budweiser following his dominant rise to UFC champion status.

In 2023, he signed on as a brand ambassador and investor for New Brew, a non-alcoholic functional beverage made with kava. The Hawaii-based product resonated deeply with him, both culturally and personally.



Not only does he promote the drink, but he also holds an equity stake in the company—demonstrating a shift from one-off sponsorships to long-term business involvement. He has spoken publicly about wanting to support products that align with his values.



He also has had ongoing relationships with sports and personal care brands, including Reebok during its UFC apparel era and Manscaped, a grooming brand popular among male athletes.



<h2>Max Holloway’s investments</h2>



Outside of endorsements, Max Holloway has taken deliberate steps to secure his financial future through smart investments. One of his reported focuses has been the Hawaiian real estate market, a sector that has proven lucrative.

Investing in property close to home is a natural fit for him, who remains deeply connected to his roots in Waianae, Oahu. He has hinted in interviews that supporting his local community is part of his long-term vision.



He has also launched a lifestyle and apparel brand known as “Blessed Era”. The project reflects his personal style and MMA identity and is aimed at fans who connect with his journey. Apparel has become a common avenue for fighters looking to diversify their income.



His involvement with New Brew is perhaps the clearest example of his evolving approach to business. By taking on an advisory and equity role rather than just appearing in advertisements, he has embraced a more hands-on strategy that could open the door to future ventures.
