The wait was worth it for Dustin Poirier in his UFC FIGHT PASS featured bout against “Irish” Joe Duffy Saturday, as the 12th-ranked lightweight contender scored a shutout three-round unanimous decision win at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Scores were and 30-27 twice and 30-26. The bout was originally scheduled for October in Dublin before a Duffy injury forced a postponement, which was just fine for Poirier, who has now scored three consecutive wins since returning to the 155-pound weight class.
Neither fighter wasted any time getting down to business, with the exchanges coming fast and furiously.
