UFC 318 – Dustin Poirier against Max Holloway 3: Results, winners, highlights, combat card, complete guide

UFC 318 is in the books, as is Dustin Poirier's career. “The Diamond” is made as a MMA fighter after a famous run in UFC, who saw him in lightweight in the past five years. Poirier could not completely complete the last moment with a win, since the former spring weight champion Max Holloway turned out to be too much.

Poirier and Holloway wrote another epic chapter in their friendly rivalry when the two met in New Orleans for the third time on Saturday. Holloway dropped Poirier twice early, but Poirier managed to recover and give himself a little life. But in the end the Hawaiian could survive the storm and the enemy crowd to go victorious when Poirier put his gloves down for the last time.

Elsewhere on the map, Paulo Costa put a jerk into his career with a emphatic decision victory against the increasing candidate Roman Kopylov. Costa, who has only entered 1-4 since 2020, dropped Kopylov early and never gave up the pressure. The key victory can keep it relevant in a fairly flat 185 pound department. Daniel Rodriguez also achieved a breathtaking surprise by Kevin Holland after achieving a few knockdowns. And the former MMA-Zwei-Division champion by Bellator MMA, Patricio Pitbull, achieved his first UFC victory by defeating Dan IGE by decision.
