Daily Ticket: Mazziotti on UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Hooker, the Phillies, and more

I joined Friday’s Daily Ticket hosted by Jon Jansen on Fox Sports The Gambler to talk about the upcoming Phillies season, UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Hooker, and the upcoming card on Fight Island.

Looking to Saturday night’s card, I like the match-up between “Platinum” Mike Perry and Mickey Gall as both fighters are in interesting spots, neither on a particularly impressive run. Perry is 1-3 in his last four, whereas Gall is 2-2. Which fighter will beat irrelevancy and claw their way up the welterweight rankings?

The main event has serious “Fight of the Year” potential. Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker have 14 “Of the Night” bonuses between them. Both are known for their stopping power. Both fighters are on impressive winning streaks. Both are ranked in the top 5 of the lightweight division and this fight has serious title implications. This is must-watch television.

Listen to The Daily Ticket with Sean Brace on Fox Sports The Gambler every weekday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on 102.5 FM, 1480 AM, 105.3 HD2, and most importantly, on the iHeartRadio app!
