UFC 318 takes place tonight (Sat., July 19, 2025) inside Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, La., headlined by an epic Lightweight trilogy showdown as former Featherweight kingpin and current “BMF” gimmick belt holder, Max Holloway, faces off against Dustin Poirier in a highly-anticipated retirement clash for “The Diamond.”
In UFC 318’s pay-per-view (PPV) co-headliner, a Middleweight grudge match sees refreshed (and hungry?) former title challenger, Paulo Costa, take on brick-fisted Russian import,
Roman Kopylov. In addition, the Welterweight division heats up with Kevin Holland squaring off against Daniel Rodriguez, and a thrilling Featherweight bout features Dan Ige against former Bellator MMA superstar, Patricio Pitbull, who is still hunting his first win inside the Octagon.
