Dustin Poirier’s retirement battle in opposition to Max Holloway caps off a large 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 evening 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 remaining bout of his legendary profession.
Within the co-main occasion, former title challenger Paulo Costa returns to motion in opposition to heavy handed middleweight Roman Kopylov.
The all the time lively Kevin Holland competes for the fourth time already in 2025 when he faces Daniel Rodriguez in an attention-grabbing 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 choice to Yair Rodriguez and the competitors doesn’t get any simpler going in opposition to 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 as if a battle destined for an enormous end.
