Hooker vs Poirier or Hooker vs Gaethje?

[KazDibiase]

Which one you rather see and do you seeing Hooker beating them?

 

[accolyte1022]

Yes.

 

[Fossor]

How about Barboza?

 

[frederick]

I only want Gaethje/Conor

How about Barboza?

Barboza already beat him to a living death

 

[Street Bishop]

Felder was snapping his head back with punches. Gaethje or Poirier flatline him.

 

[KingBeef]

For just bleed purposes, I'd rather see Hooker vs Gaethje.

 

[Sakurabaism]

Gaethje should wait for either Khabib / Tony winner or Conor. If he takes the fight with Hooker, he will certainly lose his title shot this year since this is what Dana wants, Gaethje takes Hooker so Conor can fight Khabib. Either way, I can't see Hooker wins against those two.

both are bad matchups for hooker. Gaethje low kick game is just the best in the division and dan´s defense vs low kicks is average at best. If felder who is a pretty average boxer for mma standards was landing lots of clean shots, poirier be a nightmare for hooker

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

I think I'd prefer Hooker/Gaethje. I wouldn't be disappointed by any combination though. Any combination of Ferguson, Poirier, Gaethje and McGregor would be amazing. It's pretty disappointing that only one of those fights has happened in the last couple of years.

 

[RustyShacleford]

It's definitely a sensible rebound fight for Poirier to take: high profile but quite winnable. Gathje has less need for it, but it's still a very winnable fight for him, so if conor/title shot isn't happening and he needs to make even more of a case for himself, it's really not a bad option.
As they are all proven action fighters, I'm totally game with either match.

Hooker aint ready for Gaethje or Poirier. Let him face Cowboy to work on his craft more...

 

[drbolony]

He barely scraped by Felder. I'm a fan of the guy, but I'd like to see him avenge that loss to Barboza. If he's barely scraping by the gate keeper he has more to show imo. Besides Conor created another log jam at the top.

 

[Fossor]

Barboza already beat him to a living death

That's the whole point!

 

[KazDibiase]

How about Barboza?

Barboza already beat him

 

[DarkneT]

Hooker showed his ceiling the other night imo

both of those guys chew him up

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Poirier

listen to this guy.

it was his first fiver rounder

 

[TrevorLahey]

I like the hooker vs Poirier match up, I'd say put it on the same card as Mcgregor vs Gaethje but I think both should be 5 round fights. I think these would be the best fights in the lightweight division to make. Maybe give Barboza a chance to avenge his loss to Cerrone?

That's actually not a bad idea, it's much more realistic an option IMO than either of the 'ins. Would make a great fight too!
