Six of the first seven fights have lines -300 or greater. Here are my predictions for the full UFC 318 card: It’s a trilogy fight in the lightweight division, and Poirier won the first two fights but still enters Saturday as an underdog at home.

To be sure, Poirier (30-9) has had a decorated career. The former Interim UFC lightweight champion owns 15 wins by knockout and eight by submission, with 13 first-round finishes. “The Diamond” holds wins against Conor McGregor twice, and his two most recent victories are against Benoit Saint Denis and Michael Chandler.

Perennial fan favorite Dustin Poirier wanted to go home for his farewell and the UFC delivered, putting him in a main event against two-time rival Max Holloway before what's sure to be a partisan crowd at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
