Rapper Lil Wayne will walk Dustin Poirier to the octagon and present the “BMF” title to the winner of Poirier’s retirement fight against Max Holloway at UFC 318.
Rapper Lil Wayne’s got a packed schedule at UFC 318. Not only is he walking Dustin Poirier to the octagon, but he’s also set to wrap the “BMF” title around the winner’s waist. Quite the gig, right?
Poirier’s fight marks the end of his legendary career. And it seems both he and Max Holloway are cool with Wayne doing the honors. A Grammy winner crowning the champ? That’s a showstopper.
The “baddest motherf*cker” title has its own quirks. Remember when The Rock did it for Jorge Masvidal? Since then, UFC legends like Mark Coleman have kept the tradition alive.
“Let Weezy do it,” Poirier exclaimed, sparking cheers from the Louisiana crowd. Even Holloway, standing on the other side, gave his nod. “I’m not going to disagree with that,” he said.
So, it’s set. Lil Wayne will crown the UFC 318 winner. Just another highlight in Poirier’s unforgettable night. His retirement fight is a big deal, and the love he’s getting is overwhelming.
Reflecting on his journey, Poirier shared, “My first fight in the UFC, I walked out to Wayne. My last fight he’s going to walk me out. That’s crazy.” Dreams do come true, huh?
