UFC 318: Holloway vs Poirier 3

No matter how this one shakes out, it promises to be exhilarating, and a fitting way for one of the most all-action fighters in UFC history to ride off into the sunset.

A long-standing member of the top tier of middleweights, Paulo Costa needs a big win to keep his place, but standing in the way of that mission is a rising star from Russia with fight-altering power…Roman Kopylov.

Riding win streaks that have them in line for big fights this autumn and beyond, Kevin Holland and Daniel Rodriguez have long been around the same circles. They were initially booked at UFC 279. But tonight, they finally engage for what promises to be an action-packed affair for as long as it goes.

Ultra-game featherweight staple Dan Ige lines up opposite Patricio Pitbull in an intriguing matchup between UFC 314 competitors.

Veteran Michael Johnson and rising star Daniel Zellhuber both had years to remember in 2024, and as the second half of 2025 beckons, both men aim to keep their momentum going in a matchup few expect to reach the judges’ scorecards.

Top 15 bantamweights vying for a place in the Top 10, Kyler Phillips or Vinicius Oliveira plausibly could get their wish with a good win in here in New Orleans.

Tried, tested, top-tier middleweight contenders, Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen have arrived in the Big Easy looking to kickstart a move into the top five at the expense of the other.

In the history of combat sports, many competitors out of the fighting-rich nation of Argentina have dealt with high expectations. To this point, 23-year-old Francisco Prado has delivered on all counts…with power, grit and a willingness to brawl if the situation calls for it.

Will Gautier earn another finish and victory, or can Valentin rebound and get things moving in the right direction?
