Top ranked 155-pound contenders, Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker, are scheduled to hook ‘em up in the upcoming UFC on ESPN 12 lightweight main event, set to go down a week from Sat. night (June 27, 2020) inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The promotion released the official event poster on Wednesday, which also features the welterweight co-main event between Mike Perry and Mickey Gall. And what better way to represent these four fighters than a bunch of floating triangles?
Poirier (25-6, 1 NC) is looking to rebound from his unanimous decision loss to reigning lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who submitted the Louisiana native in the UFC 242 main event last September.
As for Hooker (20-8), he’s now captured three straight wins at 155 pounds, including his “Fight of the Night” against Paul Felder earlier this year. The streaking Aussie sits at No. 5 in the official rankings, two spots behind Poirier at No. 3.
