After his addition to the promotion last week, the first fight for the man that beat Conor McGregor in Cagewarriors has been announced.

Today we are delighted to tell you that his first bout has been announced today by the UFC. Duffy will fight Vagner Rocha at UFC 185 in Dallas on March 14.

The 26-year-old from Donegal has won five of his last six fights but he faces a wily opponent in Rocha. The Brazilian lightweight has an 11-4 record, though the 32-year old did lose to Jake Matthews on his last fight.
