Poirier is presently ranked third in the latest Lightweight rankings and in his last outing came up short to becoming the undisputed champion in the division in his submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov back in UFC 242 in September last year. However, despite his recent issues with getting an exciting fight, which has prompted his push for an adventure in the welterweight division, Poirier will be staying in the lightweight division for at least one more fight.
Hooker on the other hand will be hoping to win with less controversy in his second headlining bout in a row. Hooker edged Paul Fielder with a split decision in his hometown headlining bout at UFC on ESPN+ 26 earlier this year in New Zealand.
The decision was debated by many but the results stood and in the aftermath, Hooker called out Dustin Poirier and the UFC made May 16th available but due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, the date got cancelled but they could still get their wish this Summer.
