Poirier vs. Green Set for UFC 199

Unbeaten in his return to the lightweight division, tenth-ranked contender Dustin Poirier puts his three-fight winning streak on the line against 12th-ranked Bobby Green in a UFC 199 bout on June 4.

In the main event, which airs live on Pay-Per-View from The Forum in Inglewood, California, Luke Rockhold defends his UFC middleweight title against Chris Weidman. In the co-featured bout, Dominick Cruz defends his UFC bantamweight crown against Urijah Faber.

A former featherweight contender, Poirier moved back to 155 pounds in 2015 and has since picked up three wins, knocking out Diego Ferreira and Yancy Medeiros and decisioning Joe Duffy.
