UFC On ESPN 12: Poirier vs. Hooker

[Willy Knuckles]

I'd like to hear your reasons

The guy he's fighting is a wrestler/grappler, that's what Allen is good at. Allen has also improved his standout tremendously. This guy is too green and took this fight on short notice. That's the most secure pick on the entire card

Allen was preparing also for a grappler in Heinisch so this is a good match up for him

IMO Daukaus and Allen have so much overlap it's gonna be an ugly, scrappy noodly grappling match that I'd favor Allen in but the current price is stupid. Allen should be about -150, especially considering Daukaus is more reliable to actually hold positions and throw GnP.

Dude you still read my posts, Im your god you loser

So we are both in the Hooker train, sounds funny hehe must be a cool train
<45>

Odds are crazy on Hooker, one thing Im afraid are Dustins calf kicks.
Barboza gave a blueprint how to beat Hooker but its worth a shot

Is hooker a 99% win or 98%

Am I the only one who wasn't that impressed by the Felder win.
Could have been a draw IMO?
I'm confident in Dustin to take this.

I usually don't bet on props, that's why I will stick to Poirier ML.

I never bet anything over-200 so unless his odds dropp Ill prob be looking at starts rd 3 or 4 or 5 whichever is not higher then -200 hopefully hopefully starts rd 3 is like -190 I doubt it though prob be -190 starts rd 4

I caught him at -201 on Pinnacle, the line is a bit off to me but I'm really not inspired by this card, so I had to bet on smthg I thought was reliable.

Plus I never bet until right before the fights about to start and maybe 1 in every 10 cards I dont make it to main event because I stop betting b4 it gets there if im doing bad 50/75/150/300 are my bets depending if I lose I will go up and if I lose my 300$ bet then Im done for the event but lets say I win my 150 bet I will drop my next bet down to 50 again. Plus with all my parlays I do now If I have him in 1 of my 10 parlays and its still alive come the main event of course Im going to hedge because I do like 10$ parlays to win idk 1k-5k usually

i bet $200 on griffin at 1.91. I like Zalal actually he has some nice movement and is defensively pretty sound, but the small cage will not be favourable to him, there will be lots of scrambles I imagine and Griffin is just a superior wrestler and grappler, Griffin also has a lot more experience than Zalal. Will be an interesting fight to watch for sure.

Noodly lol

green vs villante under 2.5 x 1.75. me likey

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Not sure why theres so much Hangman Hooker love. I'm fairly certain Gaethje hits harder with his hands than Hooker and while he had Dustin visibly perturbed by strikes, Dustin spat on the ground, kept it cool and survived. I also think Hookers tall man defense is something Dustin's boxing can poke through. You know who else leans away to avoid strikes? Bobby Green and Dustin doubled up hooks and caught him. I think DP can replicate what Barboza did albeit with weaker kicks.

I don't see Hooker winning unless he somehow becomes an amazing wrestler and wrestlefucks dustin. Hooker takes damage and has looked above average against average guys. Worth looking to see Dustin's ITD. Which I desperately need after getting molested in the last event.
