In the main event, former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier (25-6 MMA, 17-5 UFC) faces Dan Hooker (20-8 MMA, 10-4 UFC). Poirier is a 2-1 favorite on his return after losing a title unification fight to champion Khabib Nurmagomedov last September, and he has a huge lead from our 14 editors, writers, cameramen and radio hosts. They’re on his side in a 10-4 clip.
In the co-main event, Mickey Gall (6-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) faces 3-1 favorite Mike Perry (13-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) at welterweight. Perry has a solid advantage in the selections with 9-5.
Also on the main card, Brendan Allen (14-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is a huge favorite against undefeated promotional newcomer Kyle Daukaus (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), and is the heaviest favorite among our collectors at 12-2.
And Gian Villante (17-11 MMA, 7-8 UFC) goes up to heavyweight to face Maurice Greene (8-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC). Greene is more than a 2-1 favorite, but he only has a slight 8-6 advantage in the national teams, with almost half of our staff members taking Villante upset.
In MMA reader consensus elections Junkie, Poirier (75 percent), Perry (57 percent), Allen (77 percent), and Greene (66 percent) are the options.
Take a look at all the previous selections.
