UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Duffy will be headlined by Ireland’s own “Irish” Joe Duffy (13-1, fighting out of Donegal, Ireland), who faces the biggest challenge of his professional career as he takes on top 15 ranked lightweight, Dustin Poirier (18-4, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla.). The co-main event will see an explosive clash between Stipe Miocic (12-2, fighting out of Euclid, Ohio) and Ben Rothwell (35-9, fighting out of Kenosha, Wis.), the No.3 and No.7 ranked heavyweights respectively, which will undoubtedly have huge implications for the UFC heavyweight division’s title picture.
