On Oct. 25, Dustin Poirier will once again brush up against the Irish. Only, this time instead of fighting a superstar Irishman in Las Vegas he’ll be fighting the guy who last beat the superstar in Dublin.
Poirier will face Joseph Duffy in the main event of UFC Fight Night 77 at the 3Arena. Duffy, who is 2-0 since debuting in the UFC at UFC 185 against Jake Lindsey, has become a cult figure in the fight game for being the last man to defeat McGregor. That happened in November of 2010, back when both men competed under the Cage Warriors banner.
