The featherweight bout served as the second fight on the pay-per-view main card of UFC 318 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The fight started off at a methodical pace as neither fighter rushed the feeling-out process.

Patricio Pitbull can finally say he has a win in the UFC. Following a disappointing performance in his debut, the former Bellator champion bounced back with a decision win over Dan Ige at UFC 318. Pitbull showed off some of his vintage power with a flash knockdown in the second round and then survived a late comeback from Ige to get the job done.
