Holloway vs. Poirier: A Soul-Crushing Finale? 🥊

by

Ah, Holloway… a man haunted by past defeats, seeking not merely victory, but *redemption*. To avenge the specters of 2012 and 2019. A curious obsession, wouldn’t you say? To chase shadows… Poirier, meanwhile, a son of Louisiana, wishes for a grand, perhaps *too* grand, farewell before the abyss. A final flourish before the inevitable silence. Is it courage, or merely vanity? 🤔

The Phantom of the White House

They whisper of Trump’s intentions to host a UFC event in 2026… a bizarre spectacle, really. Imagine the gilded cage! But alas, tonight, the former President remains absent. A snub, a strategic withdrawal? Perhaps he finds the raw brutality… *unbecoming*. Dana White and he share a history, yes, a transactional alliance, but even loyalty has its limits. The man demands spectacle, and this, it seems, is not enough. He’s a regular attendee, yes, but a man of his stature cannot be seen at every brawl. It diminishes the mystique, don’t you think? 🙄

The Digital Devil’s Bargain: Crypto and the Carnage

Cryptocurrency… a phantom currency for a phantom age. The UFC, in its relentless pursuit of capital, has embraced this… *peculiarity*. Crypto.com, a name that echoes with the emptiness of modern existence, now adorns the fighters’ uniforms. A multi-year deal, they say, in the “low nine figures.” As if mere money can mask the primal struggle unfolding within the cage. Bonuses now awarded in Bitcoin? The irony! Offering $30K, $20K, $10K to the most… *entertaining* violence. It’s a grotesque parody of reward, wouldn’t you agree? 💸 The future is here, and it’s covered in digital dust.

 

Gambling with Ghosts: Bet With Crypto

Naturally, one can wager their dwindling fortunes on these gladiatorial contests, and now, via the ethereal realm of cryptocurrency! Polymarket, Myriad… names that conjure images of digital shadows and fleeting hope. Perhaps it’s best to simply watch the suffering and contemplate the futility of it all. But no, we *must* bet. We *must* find meaning in the chaos. 😩

Holloway and Poirier, locked in a dance of desperation. Three times they meet, three times they attempt to break the other’s spirit. At the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans… a venue filled with the hopes and disappointments of countless souls. Who will emerge victorious? A question for the ages, or merely another fleeting moment in the grand, absurd tragedy of existence? 🎭

Market Dates

  • Market close: July 20, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC. A deadline, a finality… so much for the illusion of control.
  • Resolution Time: July 20, 2025 at 12:00 PM UTC, or when the outcome is officially determined. As if an “official determination” can truly capture the essence of suffering.

Resolution

  • The market resolves to the fight winner — Max Holloway or Dustin Poirier — as officially declared by the UFC on its website. The official narrative… always a simplification of a messy truth.
  • Any method of victory (KO, TKO, submission, or decision) will be taken into consideration. It matters not *how* they fall, only *that* they fall.

Cancelation Conditions

This market will be canceled if:

  • The fight does not take place as scheduled. A postponement… a temporary reprieve from the inevitable.
  • The fight ends in a No Contest. An anticlimactic void.
  • The fight ends in a Draw (including Split Draw, Unanimous Draw, or Majority Draw). A pointless stalemate.
  • The fight is rescheduled outside the market period. The cruel whims of fate.
  • Official results are not available from UFC.com. Bureaucracy triumphs over brutality.
  • If either fighter drops out for any reason. The fragility of human ambition.

In the event of cancellation, participants may claim their stakes at the market value of their open positions at the time of cancellation. A meager consolation prize for a wasted evening. A small return on the investment of hope. 💔
