Greg Abbott made disaster declarations Sunday for four counties including Dallas and warned that the number of victims could rise. They all dashed into closets and suffered only bumps and bruises, but Gordon’s roof was torn away and her house destroyed.
“The fight was due to be on Fight Pass for UFC Dublin because the promotion wanted to build interest from customers and fair play to the UFC because now you can still see me and Dustin fight on Fight Pass.

“It was hard to get my head around for a couple of weeks”, Duffy said. “I’m the experienced fighter, and I’m ready to prove I’m one of the best”.

It is widely known that Duffy is the last man to beat McGregor in the Octagon, but the 27-year-old is quick to remind everyone that the featherweight champion is the be all and end all of Irish MMA.
Duffy inflicted one of only two career loses upon Conor McGregor – a 38-second submission victory in 2010 – while Poirier suffered a first round KO at the hands of The Notorious in September 2014.
