Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held its official pre-fight press conference on Thursday for the upcoming UFC 318 pay-per-view (PPV) event and all 10 main card combatants were on hand this afternoon.

It's almost time for UFC 318, which means it's definitely time for MMA Knockout's staff predictions. Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway slug it out for the BMF belt this weekend, where 'The Diamond' is certain to retire, win or lose. MMAKO's Mat Riddle, Drew Beaupré, and Zain Bando are here to predict the main card.

Max Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC) defends his BMF title against the retiring Dustin Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) in Saturday's UFC 318 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.

Max Holloway praises Ilia Topuria after his back-to-back knockouts, showing respect for the rising star’s dominant performances.

Many UFC superstars have tried their hand at acting, such as Max Holloway, Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping and several others.

Max Holloway is feeling rejuvenated and energized ahead of his lightweight return at UFC 318. In the highly anticipated main event, Holloway will be taking on Dustin Poirier in a trilogy bout, which will also serve as Blessed’s first ‘BMF’ title defense.
