UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker fight card

The UFC will wrap up the month of June with an ESPN event on the 27th, before packing up the Octagon and taking it to Fight Island (aka Abu Dhabi) for all of July. But they’re definitely going out of Vegas with a bang. UFC on ESPN 11 will feature one of the better non-PPV main events of the year, with Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker facing off with a possible lightweight title shot on the line.

The co-main event will come in the welterweight division, with hard-hitting Mike Perry taking on Mickey Gall. Ian Heinisch was supposed to make a quick return to the cage to fight Brendan Allen, but has had to withdraw and will be replaced by undefeated middleweight prospect Kyle Daukaus.
