The Octagon returns to Louisiana for tonight\u2019s UFC 318 event, a 14-bout fight card headlined by Dustin Poirier vs. Max Holloway 3.<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/p>\n

Poirier (30-9 MMA), a former UFC interim lightweight champion, will be competing for the final time this evening in his home state. \u2018The Diamond\u2019 was most previously seen in action 13 months ago at UFC 302, where he suffered a submission loss to Islam Makhachev. The 36-year-old has faced Holloway twice in the past, winning both of those fights, the first by submission and the second by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Max Holloway (26-8 MMA) will enter tonight\u2019s trilogy bout looking to rebound, this after being knocked out by Ilia Topuria in his most recent Octagon<\/a> appearance this past October at UFC 308. Prior to that setback, \u2018Blessed\u2019 was coming off a spectacular knockout win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

UFC 318 is co-headlined by a middleweight bout between Paulo Costa and Roman Kopylov.<\/p>\n

\"Paulo<\/p>\n

Costa (14-4 MMA) will enter tonight\u2019s co-headliner with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. The former middleweight title challenger most recently competed last June at UFC 302, where he suffered a split decision loss to Sean Strickland<\/a>. \u2018Borrachinha\u2019 recorded his last win in August of 2022, when he defeated former champion Luke Rockhold by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Roman Kopylov (14-3 MMA) currently boasts a two-fight winning streak, this after earning Octagon<\/a> victories over Chris Curtis and Cesar Almeida respectively.\u00a0 The Russian standout has gone 5-1 over his past five fights overall.<\/p>\n

Also featured on tonight\u2019s UFC 318 main card is a highly anticipated featherweight bout between Dan Ige and Patricio Pitbull.<\/p>\n

Ige (19-9 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a TKO win over Sean Woodson this past April at UFC 314 (see that here<\/a>). That victory got the Hawaiian back in the win column, as he had previously suffered back-to-back losses to Diego Lopes and Lerone Murphy respectively.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Patricio Pitbull (36-8 MMA) made his official Octagon<\/a> debut back in April, dropping a lopsided decision to Yair Rodriguez. The former Bellator champion has gone just 2-3 over his past five fights overall.<\/p>\n
