UFC 318 is set to take place this Saturday, featuring a highly anticipated main event between Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway. As Poirier prepares for his final fight, fans and bettors alike are eager to engage with the event. Two major sportsbooks, DraftKings and BetMGM, are offering promotional bonuses for new users looking to place bets on the fights.

DraftKings is providing a welcome offer that includes a $150 bonus for new users. To activate this bonus, users must create an account and place a $5 bet on any fight. This offer is available regardless of the outcome of the initial wager, meaning users will receive the $150 in bonus bets immediately after placing their bet. The event will take place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, marking a significant homecoming for Poirier.

In addition to the main event, DraftKings allows users to bet on various markets, including the method of victory and the number of rounds. However, users must utilize their bonus bets within seven days, as they will expire after that period.

Meanwhile, BetMGM is also rolling out a promotional code, NOLA150, which offers new users a choice between a $150 bonus or a $1,500 first bet. Users in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia can qualify for the $150 bonus by placing a $10 bet on UFC 318. For users in other states, the $1,500 first bet option is available, which includes a refund of up to $1,000 in bonuses for any losses.

Both sportsbooks provide a variety of betting options for the event, including odds on the main fight. Current odds show Max Holloway as a slight favorite at -140, while Poirier is listed at +115. Other notable matchups on the card include Paulo Costa against Roman Kopylov and Kevin Holland facing Daniel Rodriguez.

To participate in these promotions, new users must complete a straightforward registration process, which includes providing personal information and making a deposit. With UFC 318 approaching, these offers present an opportunity for bettors to engage with the event and potentially enhance their experience.
