Max looked small for the weightclass but he isn\u2019t going to let that stop him as he is keen on fighting Oliveira for the UFC lightweight belt or getting his rematch with Poirier. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/mixed-martial-arts\/ufc\">Oliveira and Poirier will clash at UFC 269<\/a> on 11 Dec when Oliveira will defend his belt against Poirier.
