The last man to beat Conor McGregor will face Dustin Poirier on October 24 in Ireland.

Irish lightweight Joseph Duffy, the last man to defeat interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor, will headline the UFC's October 24 return to Dublin, Ireland. The 27-year old announced the big news himself today on Irish television. His opponent: Dustin Poirier.

Only two weeks ago in Glasgow, Duffy forced BJJ black belt Jorge Ivan to submit with a triangle choke in the first round. It has already been his second victory this year, after he made a successful promotional debut against Jake Lindsey in March.
