GDT: UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker

[ZDH]

ok here we go

 

[Taytro]

I'm very surprised with Perry's grappling, especially considering Gall is supposed to he the grappler out of these two. He's abusing him on the ground more than the feet.

No one can knock Perrys corner choice now.

 

[Deen]

I got Hooker in the next one. Adesanya and Volk probably helped him with a game plan.

 

[ZDH]

no 30-27 on that 1?

 

[ZDH]

Poirier has got this...

Gall outstruck him in the first so I think it's reasonable to weigh that over the takedown.

Gall landed more but I wouldn't say he outstruck him. And I certainly wouldn't say that was a conclusive round for Gall.

 

[Deen]

Gotta love Perry

Amazing interview.

 

[Taytro]

Perry's the man, hes nothing but honest and real.

I'm just saying it was close enough due to outlanding him that I don't see it as a robbery. Though the third easily could've been a 10-8 the other way.

Also Perry working for the anti-tax fans, lol.

 

[CDJ]

Perry is something else

probs shouldn’t say the N word but he is his own man, nobody can deny him that

 

[Byron Bitz]

He’s not asking for more money he’s just asking if he can pay less taxes

 

[Deen]

That was actually the best interview ever. Just rants about paying too many taxes. He's just trying to "wild out" then they want more money at the end of the year?

 

[Avs_19]

I'm going with Poirier here.

 

[Deen]

I'm going with Poirier here.

I think the reach is going to give him problems.

 

[Taytro]

On paper Poirier has more experience, especially against better competition but Hooker just finds a way to catch people. I have Poirier but this could be interesting.

 

[Taytro]

I think the reach is going to give him problems.

The counter to that is Felder isn't a big guy and he took it to Hooker. Poirier is a better striker than Felder and Poirer has dealt with Max's range management.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Listen to Bisping!

 

[Deen]

The counter to that is Felder isn't a big guy and he took it to Hooker. Poirier is a better striker than Felder and Poirer has dealt with Max's range management.

He is getting pieced up on the feet.

 

[member 51464]

Once you see the constant Poirier short grabs, they can't be unseen.

 

[Taytro]

He is getting pieced up on the feet.

Colour me wrong.

Great first round. This might be a classic if it keeps up, have a feeling it will be a fun one.

 

[Taytro]

Poirier took a note from Barboza and us commuting to body kicks.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Great first round
