UFC 318 Main Card
Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier
We’re not surprised to see Holloway listed as the –135 favorite. He has been a better fighter over the last few years, and although he needs to withstand a desperate Poirier, he has enough class to overcome the situation.
Poirier is having his last fight before retiring, and although retiring fighters have a good record in the last two years before bowing out, we can’t see Poirier getting the better of Holloway, who loves fighting for the BMF title.
We think it will be an epic fight between fighters who have little to lose, but Holloway is likely to out-work Diamond, and he should get his hand raised after five brutal rounds.
Prediction: Max Holloway -135

Paolo Costa vs. Roman Kopylov
Backing Paolo Costa comes with a lot of risk, and he hasn’t lived up to the early hype, which saw him fight against Israel Adesanya for the title.
The Brazilian is the +186 underdog for Saturday’s fight, which doesn’t come as a surprise. He has fought harder fighters than Roman Kopylov, but we’re not sure where to place him after some disappointing performances.
Kopylov has looked good at times, including a decision win over Cesar Almeida. That followed a tough loss to Anthony Hernandez, but he’s back and he should have learned from that loss.
Take Kopylov to get the job done as the –225 favorite.
Prediction: Roman Kopylov -225

Kevin Holland vs. Daniel Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez is capable of big things, but he’s another fighter that bettors find hard to trust, and the UFC 318 card is full of them.
Despite having 13 losses on his record, Kevin Holland is easier to trust that he’s going to deliver on the big stage. His recent success is good to see, so we’re happy to include him in our UFC 318 fight picks for Saturday’s fight.
Taking –500 isn’t easy, but he’s a good parlay inclusion, so take the short odds to boost payouts. If you want bigger odds, Holland by sub pays +260 as a value bet.
Prediction: Kevin Holland -500

Dan Ige vs. Patricio Pitbull
Patricio Pitbull might have a cool name, but Dan Ige should get down to business and hand the 38-year-old a loss at UFC 318.
Ige is a fighter everyone loves to see win, and he has been good for bettors. His 19-9 record is impressive, and bettors typically get value odds for Ige to win. He pays –220 for this fight, which is a value price despite being the favorite.
Pitbull has his strengths, but Ige is a much smarter fighter, and that could make a big difference. Ige will pick and choose his spots to attack, so look for a decision win from Ige.
Prediction: Dan Ige –220
—-
Michael Johnson vs. Daniel Zellhuber
There isn’t much value backing Daniel Zellhuber to win at –650 unless you’re putting him in parlays, which we are, but as a single bet, we’re backing him to win by knockout.
Zellhuber is a great talent in the UFC, and although things came unstuck for him against Esteban Ribovics, we put that down to a lack of experience.
He will learn from that defeat, and that could be the catalyst for the 26-year-old Mexican to go on a title run. He’s good enough to fight for a title later in his career, and Michael Johnson is only standing in his way.
Prediction: Daniel Zellhuber by KO +175
