UFC 318 has been finalized.
In the main event, we’ll find out who the Baddest M’Fer on the planet is as Dustin Poirier steps into his final bout against a familiar foe, Max Holloway. Poirier has yet to get any sort of win over Max Holloway. The lightweight has fought the BMF Champion at UFC 143 and UFC 236 and he came up short in both fights. However, Poirier is a different man as he went on to beat Conor McGregor (twice), Michael Chandler, and Dan Hooker. Though Poirier comes in from a loss, the lightweight has won three out of his last six fights. Poirier’s record currently stands at 30 wins and 9 losses.
Though Holloway has the edge over Poirier, the former UFC Featherweight Champion is coming off a loss to the undefeated Ilia Topuria at UFC 308. Still, Holloway’s track record in his past six fights is pretty good as he’s beaten Justin Gatheje, Jung Chan-sung, Arnold Allen, and Arnold Allen. Holloway’s professional record stands at 26 wins and 8 losses.
UFC 318 will feature the rescheduled Paulo Costa vs. Roman Kopylov bout. Dan Ige vs. Patricio Pitbull will serve as the co-main event. Check out the confirmed line-up for the upcoming pay-per-view on July 19, 2025. Of course, the card is subject to chance at any given moment.
