Three fights added to UFC 318, including a banger bantamweight scrap

Fun fights alert!

This summer’s UFC 318 is going down on Sat., July 19, 2025, inside Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is headlined by the trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway.

Today, three more fights were announced to fill out the undercard.

By far, the most fun fight that was announced was No. 12-ranked Bantamweight Kyler Phillips vs. surging Brazilian killer Vinicius Oliveira, who is newly ranked No. 15.

Oliveira (22-3) is coming off a Fight of the Night-winning performance against Said Nurmagomedov at UFC Saudi Arabia earlier this year. “Lokdog” is currently 3-0 in the promotion and turned heads in his UFC debut by landing one of the best flying knee knockouts you’ll ever see (watch highlights).

Phillips (12-3) had his three-fight winning streak snapped against Rob Font in his last outing, losing a unanimous decision. Prior to his loss, he defeated Pedro Munhoz, Raoni Barcelos, and Marcelo Rojo.

This fight is going to be very entertaining.

Former top-15 ranked (and retired) Jimmy Crute collides against Poland’s Marcin Prachnio in a Light Heavyweight showdown.

Crute (12-4-2) returned from his nearly two-year retirement at UFC 312 in Feb., but fought Rodolfo Bellato to a majority draw. The 29-year-old Australian hasn’t had his hand raised since knocking out Modestas Bukauskas in 2020.

Prachnio (17-8) will return from a year-long layoff when he enters the cage in July. He was last in action against Bukauskas at UFC 304, getting submitted in the third round. The Polish fighter has alternated wins and losses in his last five fights.

Finally, Strawweight Carli Judice gets a hometown crowd as she takes on Brazil’s Nicolle Caliari. Ag.Fight first reported the news.

Judice (4-2) scored her first UFC win two months ago at UFC Vegas 104, when he starched Yuneisy Duben in the first round with a head kick (watch highlights).

Caliari (8-3) is still looking for her first UFC dub. She lost her UFC debut on the first card of the year (UFC Vegas 101), dropping a split decision to Ernesta Kareckaite.
