FIGHT ISLAND - The UFC has uploaded the full video of Dustin Poirier's bloody victory over Dan Hooker ahead of his Conor McGregor fight this month.
The five-round Poirier and Hooker war, which took place behind-closed-doors at the UFC Apex on June 27 in Las Vegas, was a contender for the best bout of 2020 but narrowly lost the honor to Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejczyk's fight in March - a slobber knocker that left both women disfigured.
The victory was Poirier's last contest as he rebounded in great fashion after suffering a submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov the year before.
He is now thrust into a lightweight fight against McGregor in front of a partial fan allowance at the recently-built 18,000 capacity Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
The 155-pound match is the finale to the third installment of the UFC's successful Fight Island series of events in the United Arab Emirates.
