After hinting at the possibility in recent weeks, Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) confirmed Wednesday that rap legend Lil Wayne will accompany him during his final UFC walk. Lil Wayne's presence won't deter Poirier from sticking with his classic walkout music, however. Poirier will still walk to James Brown's "The Boss" as he long has.
UFC 318 is shaping up to be the final fight in a legendary career for Dustin Poirier. And "The Diamond" is pulling out all the stops. Not only will the event be in his home state of Louisiana from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Poirier will have a special guest walk him to the Octagon to face Max Holloway.
