Dustin Poirier speaks on his retirement fight against Max Holloway:

“I could have taken more chances, but I was trying to protect myself at the same time, and I never really fought like that before. I would always put myself in harm's way to land the big shots, and this one I didn't.

Maybe that's a sign that the decision I made was the right one. Self-preservation, get home to my family safe, that type of thing.”
