The BMF belt is a gimmick UFC title that was created for a UFC match featuring Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, and has been a mainstay ever since its creation back in 2019.

Powered By VidCrunch Poirier and Holloway are intimately familiar with one another, having fought twice in the past.

The two first met almost 13 years ago at UFC 143, when Holloway, then 20, made his promotional debut. Poirier, an emerging featherweight prospect at the time, submitted the Hawaiian in the first round with a triangle armbar, securing his fourth consecutive UFC win.

They faced off again in 2019, with the interim featherweight title at stake. Poirier completed the double over Holloway, winning by unanimous decision at UFC 236.
