Joseph Duffy out of UFC Fight Night 76, Paddy Holohan vs. Louis Smolka set as new main event

The hits keep coming for UFC Fight Night 76. A week after the Dublin event lost its co-main event due to injury, UFC officials announced Wednesday that Irish headliner Joseph Duffy has been forced to withdraw from his fight against Dustin Poirier due to a "mild concussion" suffered this week during training.

As a result, the previously scheduled co-main event, a flyweight contest between Patrick Holohan and Louis Smolka, has been shifted into the new main event.
