A bout between rising lightweight contenders James Vick and Joe Duffy has been added to the UFC’s next trip to Madison Square Garden.
On Monday, the promotion announced that Vick and Duffy will meet in a lightweight contest at UFC 217, which takes place in New York City, N.Y., on Nov. 4.
Vick (11-1) will be looking for his third straight win following a first-round TKO of Marco Polo Reyes at UFC 211 in May, and a third-round submission of Abel Trujillo in February. The Ultimate Fighter 15 semifinalist has won seven of his eight appearances inside the Octagon, with four of those wins coming by way of KO or submission.
