Ranked UFC lightweights Dustin Poirier and Bobby Green have agreed to square off March 14 at UFC 199. UFC officials confirmed the fight Monday following a report from the Los Angeles Daily News.
Poirier (19-4) has won three straight contests since losing to current UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and transitioning up to lightweight. After knocking out Carlos Diego Ferreira and Yancy Medeiros inside the first round, Poirier, 27, dominated his toughest test yet at 155, seizing a three-round decision over Irish prospect Joseph Duffy this past January.
