Hometown favorite Carli Judice has started things with a brutal knee Ko, making the New Orleans -the wild.
Then Brunno Ferreira almost snarled his opponent to get UFC 318 to a flying start.
After the first four battles ended in the distance, Islam Dulatov had his work cut out to stand out during his UFC debut.

Islam Dulatov seems in destructive UFC debut
Dulatov was one of the biggest favorites on the map against 10-5 good weight Adam Fugitt.
The Underdog tried to make the fight ugly by initiating grasping fairs, but they were easily removed by Dulatov, who pulled out his lights within five minutes.
Fugitt dropped a short left hook before Dulatov followed him on the floor and the show closed.
Fugitt went cold and woke up again when Dulatov drilled his head off the floor with annoying ground attacks.
The German 'Ripper' improved its record to 12-1 and won a ton of new fans during his UFC 318 debut.
Islam Dulatov is a fashion model
Before he was a professional hunter in the UFC, Dulatov was a model for different fashion designers.
The 26-year-old walked to Gucci and Hugo Boss, and was mentioned by British Vogue as one of the top 10 male models of 2018.
Dulatov eventually signed an exclusive contract with Versace, but eventually opted for a career in MMA to chase his real dream.
“(I worked for every brand that is a big name,” said Dulatov after obtaining a UFC contract to the Contender Series of Dana White. “I have done many fashion weeks and did all things like that, but to be honest, I prefer to fight more than modeling.”
“We had some problems with money and everything. This time modeling really helped me with my situation. I remember that I canceled a shooting for $ 5,000. At the moment that was a lot of money for me.
“To be honest, I love a hunter and that's what I do.”
Although MMA is his priority, Dulatov has not completely given up his career for the camera.
A photo shoot with GQ will take place in two days, so Dulatov will simply be grateful that he was able to get it from UFC 318 'still beautiful', in the eyes of UFC commentators Paul Felder and Daniel Cormier.
