Dana White: Poirier-Duffy was 'most-watched fight we've ever had on Fight Pass'

One of the most compelling fights on the whole of UFC 195 was between lightweights Dustin Poirier and Joseph Duffy. This was originally supposed to be the main event of the UFC's Dublin show before Duffy's concussion forced the bout to be rescheduled for 195. Surprisingly, the fight remained on Fight Pass instead of on the PPV main card, and there were two reasons given:

1.) A "thank you" to our customers who missed it Oct. 24 in Dublin, per new UFC Fight Pass VP Eric Winter.

2.) To accommodate local Irish fans who wanted to see Duffy fight at an earlier time, as confirmed by both Winter and Dana White.
