Two of the best fighters in the sport’s most dangerous division will square off in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night main event in Las Vegas.
Former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier will be looking to bounce back from a one-sided title loss when he faces Dan Hooker in this battle between the top five 155-pound fighters. Originally from New Zealand, Hooker has won six of his last seven and believes he is one step away from a title shot to enter the biggest fight of his career.
Meanwhile, Poirier will have to recover from a 10-month layoff that included hip surgery. The co-main event is expected to produce similar fireworks as enigmatic welterweight Mike Perry seeks to break a two-fight losing skid against Mickey Gall.
CBS Sports will be with you all night, bringing you results and analysis from UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on Saturday, with the main card on the way at 8pm ET.
