Okay, I need to write an article about Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway in boxing. Wait, the user mentioned "boxing," but these fighters are in the UFC. Maybe there's confusion here. Let me check the context provided. Looking at the context, there are references to UFC 318, Max Holloway facing Dustin Poirier, and some fight videos. The article title mentions boxing, but the context is all about UFC. Hmm. The user might have made a mistake, but I should stick to the given keyword. However, I need to make sure the content is accurate. Since Poirier and Holloway are UFC fighters, their bouts are in MMA, not boxing. So maybe the user intended to write about their UFC fights but used the term "boxing." I should proceed under the assumption that the article is about their UFC encounters, even though the keyword says "boxing." First, I'll start with an introduction that clarifies that these are UFC fights, not boxing. Then, I'll outline their history. The context mentions UFC 318 where they faced off again. There's also mention of previous fights like UFC 242 and a third fight. I need to structure the article around their fight history, key moments, and the latest event. I'll need to include details about each fight. For example, the first fight in 2019 at UFC 242, the second in 2022 at UFC 256, and the third at UFC 318. Wait, the user's context says "UFC 318" is the latest, but I should verify if that's accurate. As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, UFC 318 hasn't happened yet. The user might be using placeholder info. Maybe they meant a future event. I'll proceed with the info given, using UFC 318 as the latest fight. I should structure the article with headings: Introduction, Background, Fight 1, Fight 2, Fight 3 (UFC 318), Legacy. Each section should highlight key points like the outcome, notable moments, and their rivalry's progression. Also, mention the emotional aspects, like the hug after the third fight, and Holloway's child hugging Poirier, which shows sportsmanship. I need to avoid unsupported claims. So only include facts from the provided context and my existing knowledge up to 2023. For example, UFC 242 in 2019, where Holloway won by TKO. UFC 256 in 2021 where Poirier won by split decision. Then UFC 318, which is the latest, but since that's in 2023 (if it's a real event, but I don't have data past 2023), I'll treat it as per the user's context. Also, include highlights from each fight, the significance of each bout, and their status in the UFC. Maybe mention their rankings and future prospects. Need to keep the tone factual, SEO-friendly, and under 900 words. Use natural headings, not markdown. Use h2 and h3 tags as appropriate. Check for any errors, like the user's typo "Hollaway" vs "Holloway." Correct that in the article. Also, ensure that the article flows logically, connecting each fight's outcome to their rivalry. Emphasize their resilience and the competitive nature of their bouts. Conclude by discussing their legacy and potential future fights. Make sure to include the keywords naturally in the headings and content. Avoid mentioning AI generation. Alright, let's draft the article accordingly.

The rivalry between Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier and Max “Blessed” Holloway has captivated UFC fans for years, blending explosive action with emotional moments.
