Dustin Poirier’s retirement battle towards Max Holloway caps off an enormous 14-fight card headed to New Orleans on Saturday, June 19 with the complete UFC 318 card now revealed.
UFC CEO Dana White dropped the lineup together with a brand new bout order confirmed for the present.
Clearly, Poirier and Holloway finish the night time because the lightweights meet for the third time of their storied careers. Poirier received the primary two encounters and he’ll try to make it three for 3 when he faces Holloway within the closing bout of his legendary profession.
Within the co-main occasion, former title challenger Paulo Costa returns to motion towards heavy handed middleweight Roman Kopylov.
The at all times lively Kevin Holland competes for the fourth time already in 2025 when he faces Daniel Rodriguez in an fascinating matchup at welterweight.
Dan Ige seeks to construct off the momentum of his win over Sean Woodson when he takes on former Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Pitbull in his second look within the UFC. Pitbull’s debut didn’t go very properly after he dropped a call to Yair Rodriguez and the competitors doesn’t get any simpler going towards a bona fide knockout artist in Ige.
Rounding out the principle card is a light-weight bout between Michael Johnson and Daniel Zellhuber, which looks like a battle destined for a giant end.
