UFC Fight Night 94: Johnson vs Poirier Date: September 17, 2016 Arena: State Farm Arena City: Hidalgo, TX The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be in Hidalgo, TX for the first time in promotional history with UFC Fight Night 94: Johnson vs Poirier. The 12 fight card is set to kick off at 7pm ET on UFC Fight Pass, and preliminary action will follow at 8pm ET on FOX Sports 1, culminating with a six fight main card ont he same channel. If interested in wagering on these ‘FOTN’ props or any other plays for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. The ‘Fight of the Night’ plays that hold the most value are: Johnson/Poirier +350 || 1u to win 3.5u Michael Johnson is coming off back to back losses and taking on Dustin Poirier who is riding a very impressive four fight winning streak since his move up to the UFC’s lightweight division, following a (mostly) successful run at featherweight. Both fighters are talented and are looking to make a statement in this main event contest scheduled for five rounds. Johnson and Poirier both generally put on exciting fights when they step foot inside the Octagon and I expect this to be no different. Should these 155-pound warriors manage to walk away with the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ honors when all is said and done, it would be the second time for Johnson in his UFC career, while being the third for Poirier. Perez/Morales +600 || 1u to win 6u Alejandro Perez will be looking to make it three in a row for himself inside the Octagon by getting past fellow Mexican Morales, who is making his UFC debut on short notice for this contest and will be looking to remain undefeated as a professional mixed martial artist by defeating Perez and extending his record to 7-0. These bantamweights will be kicking off the fight card and I see them getting the action started on a high note. I think this will be a very fun fight, whether it lasts one minute or goes all 15. Should these bantamweights pull away with the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus, it would be the first time for both fighters.
