Dustin Poirier vs Dan Hooker 6/27/20 – UFC Fight Night Picks & Preview

UFCDustin Poirier is coming into the fight here to face Dan Hooker and is the favorite in the match. However, what will really be interesting is the fact that Hooker and Poirier have almost the exact same record. Poirier is sitting on a 25-6 record, but Hooker is coming into the fight sitting on a 21-8 record.

Dustin Poirier is seen as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter and is one that tends to use the Southpaw stance. That leaves his left leg open, but even then Hooker is not so much of a striker with his kicks on the legs. The last fight for Poirier was a submission loss in a title fight to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Coming into the fight Poirier is throwing 5.51 significant strikes per minute with 49.08% accuracy.

Dan Hooker is coming in as a striker, but he has a very adaptable stance that will help him out quite a bit as he tends to rely on the switch stance. In his last fight it went the entire distance against Paul Felder and ended up as a win by a split decision. For his part Hooker is throwing 4.76 strikes per minute, but is only accurate on 45.85% of those strikes that he has been throwing so far.

The tape is coming into the fight here with Poirier standing at 5’9” and 155 pounds, but is coming in with a 72 inch reach so far. With his part Dan Hooker is coming into the fight here standing at 6’0” and 155 pounds. Hooker does have the advantage when it comes to the reach with his reach sitting at 75 inches.

The fight here will definitely be one that will be difficult for the fighters. However, in their fights so far the fights have mainly went on the over and that should definitely continue in the fight here. Look for the fight to go on the over, but it will most likely end before the judges get the fight and I look for Dustin Poirier to come in and win the fight here.
