ESPN MMA analysts and commentators offer their Poorier vs. Holoves to predictions, and ESPN betting expert Ian Parker adds insights at the price stake on both fight cards.
Mild main phenomenon
We can talk about all of X and O, but for some reason, Dustin Paurier has yet to struggle with Max Holowway. Sometimes there is one thing in the game where one man has the other number of the other, and I think it is the same here. Dustin is just a more impressive striker. Max is great, but I don’t think they have enough power to stand continuously with these lightweight. – Anthony Smith
This is a domestic game for Dustin, and I think he has the ability to counter the Max. This is why Holowe’s problems are given in their last battle with Pourer, and I am not sure that Holowway has raised it and made the necessary adjustments. This is going to be a close fight, though. Competitive fight. I think Dustin wins more rounds. – Deen Thomas

Why Dana White has been embedd for Holowe vs. Paurier 3
UFC President Dana White told Pat McAffe why he is excited about UFC 318, especially the main event between Max Holove and Dustin Pairor.
Parker: More than 4.5 rounds. Like the first two quarrels between Pourer and Holowe, I hope it will be exciting. With two fighters of this caliber, who have some best durability in the game, it would be shocking if the fight was not competitive from Bell to Bell. The biggest question may be how Holowway responds to the first knockout loss of his career, out against the last time Ilya topsisPoirier does not take the same power. He has more types to wear you down and finish late in fighting, so more than 4.5 rounds feel like playing here. If you want better obstacles, take a fight to go a distance.
Parker’s best bet on the rest of the UFC card
Middleweight: Paulo Costa Vs. Roman Kopilov
Copilov to win (-240). Costa had earlier got a lot of success in her career, which knocked out the opponents and implemented her will with her athleticism, but it has been some time because she has won anyone of any importance. Enter Copilov. That betting is a favorite, and I am surprised that the number is not more. Kopilov is a better striker and has worked late to improve his Tekdown Defense. As long as Costa Anthony turns into “fluffy” hernandez and becomes an incredible wrestler with unlimited cardio, look at Copilov to put in a striking clinic and win here. If you do not like -240 obstacles, take Kopilov to win by decision.
Fedarweight: Dan iga Vs. Pitt Bull
1:03
CORMIER, Rogan specifically attacked the controversial stoppage
Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan did not trust Dan Egga’s stops winning of UFC 314 special rupees.
IGE to Win (-220). Come out of a knockout win, IGE will be looking at the rank of the Pitbull in its resume and will continue to climb the rank of the Fedarweight Division. The IGE should pay well for an endless gas tank, fight-ending power and a high battle IQ, which should be well paid for him against an experienced MMA experienced. Pitbul did not look like himself in his UFC debut, a decision loss Yire rhodriguez In April, but he was one of the best fighters of Belter MMA for a long time. A competitive fight is expected here. Both people start slowly, but the quantity and speed of IGE will increase as the fight moves forward and win. IGE -175 was opened as a favorite and climbed -220. If those obstacles continue to increase, then take the IGE and more than 1.5 rounds to win.
Middleweight: Marvin vetori Vs. Brandon allen
Alan to Win (-210). Alan and Vateri have run-in out of the cage in the past, and now they will get to settle their differences in Ashtakona. Alan is one -210 favorite, and I agree with Audsmackers. Good as Vetori, a nine -year -old UFC veteran, once, has become a small amount of striker with no techdown attempts. But he still holds his durability. Alan has all the skills to be a champion, but decreases before one title. He is receiving vetori at the right time in his career, and I hope Alan will become a better fighter everywhere and the fight goes on anywhere. When Alan is aggressive, he is in his best form. He is expected to show him in his home state Louisiana.
Parker’s best bet for PFL Cape Town
Middleweight: Johnny Abbon vs Costelo Van Steinis
EBLEN to win; More than 2.5. Round. In the main event, EBLEN will see the Lothal striker van to defend his middleweight championship against Steinis. To get this fight quickly, watch for a heavy favorite, a heavy favorite and maintain a speed to tired the van steinis and reduce your striking power as a fight. Either put eblen as an anchor for your parlane or move it to win and over 2.5 rounds. He should win the round and take this fight into deep water.
Women’s Flyweight: Dakota Dicheva vs Sumiko Inba
To win by ditcheva tko/ko. Inaba must have been looking at Dicheva’s promotional train to derail, but I am not looking at it right now. DITcheva has the power of world-class striking and fighting, which every time she hits PFL smartcages, it is better. The only way to bet this fight is to take ditcheva by TKO/KO. For the best obstacles, take him to finish in round 1.
Heavyweight: Corey Anderson Vs. Dennis Goltsov
To win Anderson. In a battle that can decide that later for the PFL heavyweight title that competes in the years, former Belter Light Heavyweight Champion Anderson takes the previous season’s PFL heavyweight champion to Golstov. The result of this fight is to depend on whether Anderson can quickly exclude his opponent and avoid round 1. On the legs, I will bow down to Golstov, but wrestling and cardio departments are from Anderson. I am going to fly on Underdog, Anderson, as Golstov has a suspected gas tank and was very easily taken down. Oleg popov In his last battle.
