Two of the best UFC central weights have been on a collision course that finally reach a peak at UFC 318 in New Orleans.
The second matchup for the upcoming return of the promotion to Louisiana has now been reported after the news that Dustin Poirier Max Holloway will challenge for the BMF title in the main event.
To be honest, Poirier's pension in a matchup that has previously produced one of the best fights that we have ever seen in the Octagon alone is worth the entrance fee.
Although we expect that things are very friendly between 'the diamond' and 'blessed' based on what we have seen of them in the past, the same cannot be said for two middle weights that also have a lot of history with each other.
Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen must meet in top 15 Middleweight collision on UFC 318
Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen will be confronted on UFC 318 in the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on July 19.
The matchup was first reported by MMA Mania's Alex Vein, while both men want to return from back-to-back losing on 185 pounds.
On April 6, last year, they were on April 6 on April 6 until Vettori withdrew out of the fight due to an injury a few weeks before the competition.
He was replaced by Chris Curtis, who all defeated through a split decision in five rounds, but there was still a lot of hostility to his originally planned opponent after several stock markets on social media.
This tension came to a highlight when both men were present in Florida in August during a PFL playoff event, where they eventually came to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Several videos of the fight landed on social media and all showed that he ran to Vettori while they thrusted bumps until the two men were separated by a large crowd.
They will now arrange their differences in the Octagon after what will certainly be a dramatic fight week between the two camps.
UFC 318 is a must-win for both Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen
Brendan Allen had a win with seven fights before he suffered back-to-back losing to Nassourdine Imavov and Anthony Hernandez who harmed his stock considerably.
Regarding Marvin Vettori, who fought for the middleweight title in 2021, he returned from an almost two -year interruption in last March, where he was defeated by Roman Dolidze, an opponent he defeated in March of 2023.
Although both men still have the top 15 rankings, this matchup can be a loser, the city is leaving Matchup for one of them in terms of competing at the highest level of the division.
With both bets and bragging on the line in this collision of 185 pounds that both men have summoned, this is a total No Brainer booking of the UFC.
