The UFC just announced that Saturday’s Joe Duffy vs. Dustin Poirier main event in Dublin is off the card due to a training injury suffered by Duffy.
The new main event will be Paddy Holohan vs. Louis Smolka, which will be a three-round fight. Both men had been training for three rounds and anything else would be unfair to them at this point.

The company issued a statement saying:
“Having learned that Duffy received a strike to the head during training earlier this week, UFC sent him for medical tests in Ireland for precautionary purposes. The results determined that Duffy suffered a mild concussion and due to the proximity of the fight this Saturday, UFC will not permit him to compete. The health and safety of UFC athletes will continue to be the top priority for the organization. As such, UFC has respected athletic commission regulations, which recommended a medical suspension from competition as a result of the concussion.”
UFC is offering refunds to the fans in Dublin, who can get them at Ticketmaster or at the point or purchase.
