UFC On ESPN Results: Dustin Poirier Wins Fight Of The Year Contender

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier and fellow Top-5 Dan Hooker put on a "Fight of the Year" contender Saturday at UFC on ESPN, with Poirier earning a decision victory.

Earlier in the week, Poirier was honored with the first-ever Forrest Griffin Award, which goes to a fighter for their work in bettering the community.

In the co-main event, Mike Perry – with only his girlfriend in his corner – topped Mickey Gall. Perry elected to have just his new girlfriend work with him as he prepared for the fight, and she was the only one to make the walk to the Octagon with him.

Other main card winners included Maurice Greene, Brendan Allen and Takashi Saito.
