On paper, UFC on ESPN 12 looked like an okay fight card with an excellent main event. It ended up being much more than that. Brendan Allen and Kyle Daukaus delivered an excellent middleweight scrap, Takashi Sato made quick work of Jason Witt, Julian Erosa got his first win with the UFC since 2015, Khama Worthy made some more noise and Kay Hansen won her UFC debut. But that main event matchup between Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker? That 25-minute scrap stole the show.
Poirier and Hooker were fighting for...well, it’s hard to say what they were fighting for.
