Poirier, who won the first fight between the pair in 2012 and the rematch seven years later, will face Holloway to complete their trilogy in the headline bout in New Orleans.

This time, the BMF title is on the line in what Poirier has confirmed will be the final clash of a 14-year career.

Holloway, meanwhile, is hoping that a victory against his fellow American can help him line up another shot at lightweight champion Ilia Topuria.

Elsewhere on the card, the co-main event sees Paulo Costa look to bounce back after a rocky spell against Russian Roman Kopylov.
