This Saturday/Sunday (depending on whether you’re watching in attendance or not), the UFC returns to Auckland, New Zealand, for the third time in promotional history.

In the main event, sixth-ranked UFC lightweight and part-time color commentator Paul Felder (17-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) takes on seventh-ranked UFC lightweight and New Zealand native Dan Hooker (19-8 MMA, 9-4 UFC).

Since making their promotional debuts just three months apart back in 2014, both men have amassed identical 9-4 UFC records.

Let’s take a look at the last three results of the two men in the main event:

Felder rebounded from a split-decision defeat to Mike Perry at welterweight with back-to-back decision victories- a unanimous verdict over James Vick and a somewhat controversial split verdict against Edson Barboza.

Headlining an event for the first time in his UFC career, Felder is currently on a five-fight winning streak at lightweight that includes victories over past UFC main-eventers Barboza, Vick, and Charles Oliveira.

Hooker rebounded from a brutal third-round TKO defeat against Barboza with a first-round KO win over Vick and a three-round unanimous decision victory against former title contender Al Iaquinta.

Like Felder, Hooker finds himself in a UFC main event for the first time, with neither man having competed in a five-round contest throughout their professional MMA careers.

Here’s a look at how these two fighters fared when competing against common opponents shared throughout careers. On the left of the graphic, you’ll see how Felder fared against any shared opponents and on the right, you’ll see Hooker’s results against the same men.

The two men share three common opponents: Ross Pearson, James Vick, and Edson Barboza.

Pearson notched a split-decision victory over Felder back in September 2015, whilst Hooker scored an emphatic second-round KO victory against the Englishman.

Hooker suffered a third-round TKO defeat against Barboza, an opponent Felder has faced twice, losing a unanimous decision back in July 2015 before winning a split-decision last September.

Both men earned victories over Vick, Hooker via KO whilst Felder had to settle for a three-round unanimous decision win.

The Dwyer Score Each event, I calculate a ‘Dwyer Score’ for the card. It essentially gives a numeric value to the momentum of fighters competing at any one event. I do this by assigning a figure to each fighter’s current streak; a fighter on a five-fight winning streak contributes +5 to an event’s score, whilst a fighter on a two-fight losing streak contributes -2 to the score. Only UFC results are considered and a fighter coming off a no-contest, a draw, or a bout with another promotion has a streak of 0. When you tally up the scores for every fighter on a card, you get a total for the event- the ‘Dwyer Score.’ This score does not claim to predict or measure the quality or excitement of any one card, but it does give you an idea of the general momentum of fighters heading into a specific event. The graphic to the above-right displays some of the highest-scoring events of all time, to help give some context to this score. UFC Fight Night 168: Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker posts a score of -3. This score ranks joint-41st out of all 43 UFC events in the last year or joint-23rd out of 25 Fight Nights in the same period. Here’s a look at how this score compares to other events’ scores over the past year:
