Organizers said UFC 318 drew a record-breaking crowd of over 18,000 fans, generating more than $8 million in ticket sales at the Smoothie King Center.

Dustin Poirier chose caution over chaos at UFC 318, opting to clinch instead of brawl with Max Holloway in the final moments of his farewell fight.

Alexander Volkanovski was interested in how Max Holloway would bounce back from his first KO loss, and came away very impressed.

Dustin Poirier will receive a hero's welcome in his native Louisiana at UFC 318 when he battles Max Holloway for a third time in their careers. It's a respect Poirier earned from his peers and the promotion that they would take a PPV event to New Orleans for the first time in 25 years as a proper send off to one of the good guys in the sport's history.
