Despite shattering nose, Dustin Poirier appears to set viewership record on Fight Pass in besting Joe Duffy

UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier's evening wasn't half bad. For starters, he recorded a hugely important win over rising sensation Joe Duffy at UFC 195 in Las Vegas on Saturday night. After taking over in the second after a tough first frame, Poirier continued to pour it on in the third with takedowns and hard-fought top control. The scores were 30-26, 30-27 and 30-27 all in favor of "The Diamond."

More importantly, his bout set records on the UFC's streaming service, Fight Pass. Poirier and Duffy were set to compete in the main event in Dublin, Ireland in October at UFC Fight Night 76 on Fight Pass, but the bout was canceled last minute when Duffy failed concussion screening.
