GDT: UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker

[Deen]

2-1 Hooker imo

 

[Killahpunk]

What a war!

 

[m9]

Poirier is killing Hooker when they are getting in and out of the clinch. Hooker needs to stay out of there and stay at range where he's the better striker.

 

[Avs_19]

29-28 Hooker. Last two rounds were really close.

 

[Canes]

I feel like this is Hooker's match unless Poirier gets a KO but it's trending towards a draw for me at this point.

 

[Taytro]

I can see this as one where the judges decide it and make a mistake.

 

[Deen]

This fight has everything

 

[Canes]

Both just refuse to die

Heading towards a FOTY candidate

 

[Byron Bitz]

Iv got this 2-2 going into round 5

 

[Jasper]

Probably even going to the 5th.

 

[Avs_19]

I have it even going into the final round.

Both guys are exhausted but Hooker might be in worse shape right now.

 

[member 51464]

Should be hooker with 1, 2 and Poirier with 3, 4.

But I could see the one dumb ref giving 4 to Hooker for ending up on top.

 

[Killahpunk]

It's all about the 5th round.

 

[Deen]

Hooker is gassed. Just moving forward.

 

[member 51464]

Yeah, Hooker's mouth has been hanging open the whole round. Poirier's striking accuracy could make the difference in the end again.

 

[Canes]

Poirier won.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

48 - 47 poirer

 

[dss97]

Dustin 48-47 at least, maybe 49-46.

 

[Avs_19]

48-47 Poirier.

Amazing fight. Definitely right up there for FOTY so far. I’d have to watch Weili/Joanna again to see if this surpassed it.

 

[CDJ]

Amazing fight

Dustin pretty clear winner imo

 

[Deen]

Yeah, Hooker's mouth has been hanging open the whole round. Poirier's striking accuracy could make the difference in the end again.

Looks like his jaw is broke.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Fight of the year

 

[Killahpunk]

Poirier with a comeback winning the last 3 rounds.

 

[Canes]

Poirier started slow but was clearly the better fighter in the 3rd and champion rounds.

 

[m9]

Poirier took the last 3 rounds at least so he should take it. Great fight.

 

[pistolpete11]

What a fight.

I definitely got Poirier winning. Either 48-47 or 49-46. Round 2 was really close.
