The last time Dustin Poirier (pictured) fought an Irishman, things didn’t end so well for him in a TKO defeat to Conor McGregor. Now Poirier is going to have to fight the last man to beat McGregor.
On Wednesday, it was announced Poirier will co-headline UFC Fight Night 77 opposite Joseph Duffy. The October 24 event takes place inside 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
Since losing to McGregor, Poirier has found his stride back up at the lightweight division. “Diamond” has rattled off two straight wins after leaving the featherweight class, most recently TKO’ing Yancy Medeiros in June.
