Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) assembled a fantastic lightweight showdown for its upcoming UFC 199: "Rockhold vs. Weidman 2" pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which takes place on June 4, 2016 inside The Forum in Los Angeles, California.
Poirier (19-4) has been on fire since returning to the lightweight division last April. "The Diamond" scored consecutive knockout wins over Carlos Diego Ferreira (UFC Fight Night 63) and Yancy Medeiros (UFC Fight Night 68), before turning away dangerous Irish import Joe Duffy (UFC 195).
But the competition isn't getting any easier.
Green (23-6) -- ranked two spots behind Poirier at No.
