UFC on ESPN 12: Poirier vs. Hooker (June 27, 2020)

[Hugo de Naranja]

Controversial split incoming

Lots of weird scorecards tonight but all the right fighters won imo.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Jeez Bisping sucks ass. Can't they bring back Jimmy Smith and replace him.

Jimmy Smith way better

[UncleChael]

I guess the Hangman just gonna have to finish him, next time.. smhh

My guy, Poirier definitely won the fight. Not sure how you had it 4-0 Hooker after R4.

You know I love ya, just got to call it like it is.

@DDD

Keep up the good work sir. You've been killing it recently.

Let’s get the next event, Hugo.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Not sure what 10-8 round DP got but right guy won

Looks like Eric Colon gave Poirier a 10-8 R4. Don't agree with that.

All 3 judges had R1/R2 for Hooker and R3/R4/R5 for Poirier. That seems reasonable to me.

If anyone here takes Dustin Porier, I promise youre burning your money. Last time I remember a main event this heavy one sided and close in odds was when Dustin fought Holloway and everyone thought Holloway was gonna win

What happened I had money on Hooker it's almost as if these fights aren't fixed wtf also it seemed like most people on here were on Hooker no?

[Fred The Hammer]

Whew......I got on Poirier early at -175 and -190, but that was close. In fact I think Hooker wins if he throws more knees. I had it 2-2 and was happy to see Hooker going for lazy takedowns in the 5th. I think he was trying to wrestle because he was gassed. Great fight!!

[unitedlad]

I'm saying Poirier throws less than Felder; whether he lands less is another story.

I think Hooker will play this one similar to the Felder fight - make his reach advantage count in the early rounds but will tire in the 4th and 5th, if it gets that far. My biggest concern is whether Poirier has the endurance to make it count.
I think I'll be betting the over either way; neither fighter is going to be coming out swinging, both have experience going the distance over 5 rounds and both are hard guys to KO.

over 2.5 rounds -120

Main event pretty much went the way I expected. Hooker couldn’t keep the pace in the championship rounds, only Poirier is skilful enough to make it pay.

Both fighters came out swinging alright. They wanted to take each others heads off from the sound of the first bell. I was sweating a bit at the end of the 2nd not gonna lie but knew both had solid chins.

[Pr0ph3t]

I like Perry ML. And Porier/Hooker o2.5. Good luck!!!

BOOM!!!

Very nice main event first 3 rounds but soon in 4th was clear Hooker totally gassed(both were but Hooker was far more) and that cost him fight. Need to prepare better for 5 rounds.

[UncleChael]

Let's see a stand war.. I'll take Hangman and his Tiger Muay Thai all day. Hangman does have a win over Gilbert Burns... And Poirier is a dinosaur in this MMA game.

Really wanted Hooker to win. Dude gassed late. He wins the 3rd round he wins the fight. Wanted that 750+ on Hooker decision, a little bias on my own fighters . It was close. Poirier +375 decision ain't bad and +222 fight goes the distance ain't that bad either, ig.

I was leaving work and was trying to follow it online. It was Poirier body shot, body shot, body kick, body shot, etc. Then I watched the replay and his body kicks were landing with a big thud! That always plays into the other guy gassing out.

Hooker slowed down and lost the late rounds to Felder too. But good observation, body shots can really take the wind out of your sails.

[Sanity Check]

Expected Poirier to have a bigger advantage on the ground.

Wonder if he wasn't able to get wrestling/grappling mat time in on his reconstructed hip timeline.

Or if I was just plain wrong thar.

So Poirier has evolved? Whats with the body shots. He's known to always aim for the head. A head hunter no longer?

ESPN MMA’s Ariel Helwani, Brett Okamoto and Marc Raimondi react to Dustin Poirier’s win vs. Dan Hooker at #UFCVegas4.

Jimmy Smith way better

Seems Jimmy does the commenting in Invicta. UFC fukked him when they didn't extend his contract at the time. He's back now though, maybe we will see him commenting the UFC fights again too. As long as Mike Goldberg shuts the fukk up, worst of the worst.

I always liked the guy lol.....honestly bc he usually didn't favor a fighter.....the fighters/announcers now have leans in fights...

[Thrilla]

Goldberg has no content. Doesn't add anything to a fight. Worthless. Who gives a fukk about a fighter's favorite tv show during the fight.

Scott Coker should dump him too. Send him to WWE. Perfect match.
