Dustin Poirier's perspective has changed after watching the fight with Max Holloway:

"It felt a lot different than what it looked like from outside when I watched it. When I watched it I said, I see how he won these rounds.

I watch it back, I can see myself, I wouldn't say hesitant, but not pulling the trigger like I should have been... I think that was subliminally done, just self-preservation, knowing this is the last one, at the end of the night the rankings didn't matter... not that I pulled back, I gave it my all, but I could have put myself in harm's way to maybe make something happen for sure."
