The final UFC Apex event before the promotion heads off to Yas Island for the month of July is done and dusted. ‘The Diamond’ Dustin Poirier picked up a fantastic win in the main event of Dan Hooker. A brutal, back and fourth 5-round war of attrition that saw both men bleeding and battered by the final bell. Surprisingly, however, they aren’t high on the list of long-term medical suspensions coming out of the event.
Gian Villante will be sidelined for at least 45 days, following his 3rd round submission loss to Maurice Greene. But could be gone as long as 6 months, pending medical clearance, due to a suspected broken left hand.
