Great movies don’t always have storybook endings. All week, the spotlight was on — Lafayette’s own Dustin Poirier — returning to his home state for one final fight. The blender was packed and loud. The Smoothie King Center saw its biggest gate ever with over $8 million in ticket sales. Poirier walked in with New Orleans royalty, Lil Wayne by his side and went the distance in a hard-fought battle with Max Holloway. Holloway got the win by unanimous decision… but he stepped aside so Poirier could have his moment. Now he rides off into the sunset — not just a Louisiana legend… but a UFC legend. Forever.
