Description: Petesy Carroll and Chuck Mindenhall react to the aftermath of UFC 318, starting with Max Holloway’s impressive victory against Dustin Poirier (01:26).After paying tribute to Poirier (10:17), who called it a career, they move on to Paulo Costa’s return to form in his victory against Roman Kopylov (14:50), Daniel Rodriguez’s back-and-forth war with Kevin Holland (20:54), Patricio Pitbull’s much-needed victory over Dan Ige (23:58), and Michael Johnson’s huge upset victory over Daniel Zellhuber to open the main card (28:00), before looking back at the prelims (29:31).Then, they switch gears and recap action from around the combat sports world, starting with 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao earning a majority draw against Mario Barrios (33:16), and a pair of rematches, with Sebastian Fundora overwhelming Tim Tszyu (34:19) and Oleksandr Usyk leaving no doubt this time against Daniel Dubois (35:54).Finally, they move to PFL Africa, with Dakota Ditcheva’s dominant win over Sumiko Inaba (44:37) and Costello van Steenis’ comeback against Johnny Eblen (49:15), before offering their closing thoughts.
