He fought for the featherweight title against Ilia Topuria and lost by brutal KO in the third round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that is seemingly unavoidable when facing the new lightweight king, and Holloway had never been knocked down before that bout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poirier fought for the title just at 155 last June and put up a valiant effort against Islam Makhachev. He ultimately lost by fifth-round submission, but his stock rose in that effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a rare non-title fight that is worthy of a PPV main event due to the name value of these two stars. Despite it being Poirier&#8217;s final bout, both competitors come into this near their prime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costa vs. Kopylov odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Costa is an anomaly in the MMA space. He looked like a future champ after his win against Yoel Romero back in 2019. But he was rather inactive since and went 1-4 when he did show up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kopylov is the opposite and has been very active during his time in the UFC. He&#8217;s gone 6-1 since the start of 2022 and definitely carries the momentum. This should be a great striking match between two skilled middleweights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Holland vs. Rodriguez odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The always-active Holland will make his fourth appearance of 2025. He&#8217;s on a two-fight win streak heading into his meeting with Rodriguez. The powerful veteran finished Santiago Ponzinibbio in the third round with a left hook back in May, so it&#8217;s fair to say both fighters are in form heading into Saturday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC 318 Ige vs. Pitbull odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pitbull made his debut at UFC 314 and lost by unanimous decision against Yair Rodriguez. The former Bellator champ only landed 17 strikes to his opponent&#8217;s 70 in a contest that wasn&#8217;t close. Pitbull gets a chance for redemption against a lower-ranked, but dangerous, Ige.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He showed that dangerous striking skill in his third-round KO over Sean Woodson at UFC 314. Overall, four of Ige&#8217;s past five wins have come inside the distance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Johnson vs. Zellhuber odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The card begins with what should be a win for Zellhuber, an up-and-coming fighter from Mexico with a 15-2 record. The &#8220;Golden Boy&#8221; has won 10 of his 15 fights via finish and battles 39-year-old Michael Johnson, who is 13 years his senior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dustin Poirier makes one last trip to the octagon against a familiar foe in Max Holloway.
