WEโ€™RE JUST FOUR days removed from UFC Fight Night 76, which takes place on Saturday night at Dublinโ€™s 3Arena.

The event will be headlined by a lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and Donegalโ€™s Joseph Duffy, for whom the fight represents an opportunity to crack the 155lbs rankings.

The UFC have released this promo ahead of the fight, featuring commentator Joe Rogan giving Duffy his seal of approval. Rogan is also a big fan of Poirierโ€™s skills, however, but this preview has heightened our excitement levels for Saturdayโ€™s headliner nevertheless.

โ€œDustin Poirier is wild, aggressive and confident, and he has a dynamic range of skills. He has a wicked Dโ€™Arce [choke], heโ€™s got a full range of submission techniques, both on top and off his back. He is a very complete mixed martial arts fighter, as is Joe Duffy.

โ€œPeople who arenโ€™t aware of the talent level of Joe Duffy are going to get a treat when they see him face Dustin Poirier. He is very talented, both on the ground and standing up.

โ€œHe has a wide variety of kicking techniques, knees, elbowsโ€ฆ and the winner of this fight is going to emerge as a must-look-at option and a potential contender fight for the 155lbs division,โ€ says Rogan.

Roll on Saturday nightโ€ฆ

    On an entertaining note, it was pretty surreal seeing this picture! No-one has ever had the gall like Tuilagi to do that kind of stunt like he did, especially behind David Cameron!

    On a more serious note, heโ€™d want to be careful! Jumping off a ferry in Auckland and now doing a bunny ears salute behind the head of one of the most powerful people in Britain suggests immaturity! Heโ€™d want to cut that out, because that bring s a bit of a bad name to English rugby!
