The combat sports world moves quickly and UFC 318 while only a week-and-a-half ago seems like ancient history.
But in putting one final bow on the event, the promotion released Monday the always-popular “Fight Motion” for the event. The video captured the big fights and key moments from the July 19 card at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans – in super slow motion.
Atop the card was a “BMF” title fight between Max Holloway and the swan-songing Dustin Poirier. The two all-time-fan-favorites slugged it out over the course of five rounds.
Additionally, Paulo Costa defeated Roman Kopylov in a three-round middleweight co-main event. Also, a chaotic bout between Daniel Rodriguez and Kevin Holland will be one fight fans remember for a long time.
Check out “Fight Motion” in the video above to see some of the best moments from the card top-to-bottom.
