UFC 318: Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier 3 free live stream results & highlights

The UFC heads to the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA tonight (July 19) for a UFC 318 card that will see an all-time great hang up his gloves.
The main event is a trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway after Poirier won the previous two meetings between the two men. Holloway’s “BMF” title will be on the line, and “The Diamond” will also compete for the final time in front of what should be a raucous crowd in his home state of Louisiana.
The card’s co-main event features top-ranked middleweight contenders Paulo Costa and Roman Kopylov, who is looking to score his third-straight win and continue climbing the rankings when he takes on a former title challenger in Costa.
