MMA Knockout has you covered with predictions for ever prelim fight at UFC 318: Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier 3.
A day after President Donald Trump floated the idea of hosting a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House, the promotion confirmed to NBC News that it plans to hold such an event next year. The card would be part of the government's America250 celebration of the United States' 250th birthday.
UFC President Dana White endorsed the idea enthusiastically and superstar Conor McGregor expressed interest in participating.
The UFC landscape, as CEO Dana White alluded to in a Thursday podcast with NELK, is likely going to be vastly different. For McGregor, though, his interest in returning to the promotion that built him into the mega star he is today seems to be rekindled.
