M. M.Poria versus Max Holloway.

February 4th, 2012, UFC 143 Diaz versus Condit,

Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 4-0 Hawaiian, Max Holloway,

makes his UFC debut against WEC veteran Dustin Poirier

as an early prelim for the UFC pay-per-view, Holloway suffers his first career defeat, submitting

to Triangle Armbar in round one.

Do you throw anything at you out there that you didn't expect? A couple of things he threw I expected a kickbox to throw body kicks,

good crosses down the middle. He was trying to counter me. I was throwing an outside leg kick.

He was trying to counter me with the cross every time I threw it. He ended up touching my chin.

Kind of flashed me a little bit.

Then he threw like a recircle, we mixed again,

he threw a flying knee.

Or I don't know if it was the knee or the chin.

The way he throws his knees weren't like a normal flying knee he kind of like jumps up and it looks like I don't you know it's kind of weird what he was doing but something hit me and flash me and I knew I had to put the pressure on him and once I got him against the fence you know know. I have an eight-week strength-anditioning

program, you know, I feel really strong at 145, so he almost got away from the

takedown, but you know I got him down and once we hit the ground I showed you

know that I do practice

Jitsu.
