UFC 199 has picked up an intriguing lightweight fight, as the promotion has confirmed that Dustin Poirier will take on fellow lightweight contender Bobby Green at the event.
Poirier (19-4) is riding a three fight winning streak since he elected to move up to 155. Most recently, Poirier worked his way to a unanimous decision win over Joseph Duffy in January.
Green (23-6), meanwhile, hasn’t fought since November, 2014, when he was decisioned by Edson Barboza. Prior to that he had won 8 straight.
Poirier is currently ranked #10 at 155 and Green is sitting in the #12 position.
