Poirier vs. Holloway 3: One Last Showdown at UFC 318

STARZPLAY, the leading subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service in the MENA region, will exclusively stream UFC 318 live from Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, this Sunday, 20 July, at 6 AM GST. In a fight that marks the end of an era, former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier steps into the Octagon for the final time, facing longtime rival, Max Holloway, in the main event of what promises to be a career-defining showdown.

The third chapter of this storied rivalry carries extra weight for both scorecard and legacy. Poirier “The Diamond,” who recently announced that UFC 318 will be his retirement bout, leaves behind a celebrated career filled with grit and memorable clashes. He first defeated Holloway “Blessed” in 2012, and again in their 2019 interim title fight. Now, he faces the former featherweight champion one last time in a trilogy that has captivated fans for over a decade.

Holloway brings his trademark pace, unmatched cardio, and dynamic striking to the fight. With a professional record of 26 wins and 8 losses, the former featherweight champion aims to flip the script against Poirier and avenge the defeat he suffered in his UFC debut.

The co-main event features a middleweight fight between strikers Paulo Costa and Roman Kopylov, Kevin Holland against Daniel Rodriguez at welterweight, and Dan Ige against Patricio Freire at featherweight, promising to add intensity to an already stacked card.
