UFC 318 marks the return of the sport to New Orleans for the first time in 10 years. The 14-bout fight card is headlined by one of Louisiana’s own, Dustin Poirier, who’s competing for the final time in his storied mixed martial arts career as he takes on an old rival and fellow fan favourite in Max Holloway.

Ahead of his last hurrah at UFC 318, Poirier’s eight-year-old daughter, Parker, wrote a touching tribute that has made the rounds online. During the UFC 318 Countdown episode, Parker wished her father the best at UFC 318 while adorably expressing relief in him walking away from fighting.
