We expect the UFC to confirm that this is one awful awful mistake.
Joseph Duffy was fully expecting to be one of the main fights of UFC 195 in the new year, but we are now doubting that after the UFC released an early image of the fight card.
Duffy missed his scheduled fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC Dublin in October due to a head injury, but he was due to have the fight re-fixed as one of the main events for the first UFC event of 2016.
Or so we thought.
The lightweight contest was due to be the key feature of the Dublin card, but if this graphic is correct, the re-fixed fight has been relegated to the prelims of UFC 195
UFC fans are not happy:

UFC 195 fight card lineup on UFC website. Poirier/Duffy on Fight Pass prelims has to be a mistake https://t.co/edAqlWJWld

Looks like Poirier vs. Duffy will be on the UFC Fight Pass prelims at UFC 195 (if the UFC's website is correct, which it should be).

UPDATE:
Joseph Duffy has been asked about the demotion and the Donegal man isn;t too worried about at what time he fights Poirier
@waynegilhooley I have no idea is the truth but we'll be putting on a show wherever we are on the card 😉👊🏼
