Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker’s bout in the main event of UFC Fight Night on Saturday at UFC Apex in Las Vegas is critical in the hierarchy of the lightweight division. A former interim champion, Poirier is returning for the first time since being submitted by lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in the third round at UFC 242.
Hooker moved up to No. 6 in the divisional rankings after his incredible back-and-forth victory over Paul Felder in February.
Much is at stake in the bout, both for the winner and the loser. And both men appear to be on point physically. – Kevin Iole
