The UFC’s next trip to Dublin, Ireland won’t feature Conor McGregor in action, but it see another of that nation’s top fighters compete.

The promotion has announced that Irish lightweight Joe Duffy will take on America’s Dustin Poirier at the October 24th card. The bout will headline the card, which will be hosted by The 3 Arena.

Duffy (14-1) has gone 2-0 now since joining the UFC earlier this year, and in his most recent outing, he submitted Ivan Jorge earlier this month.

Poirier (18-4), meanwhile, has gone 2-0 since he returned to the lightweight division, following his stoppage loss to the aforementioned McGregor. Most recently Poirier took out Yancy Medeiros in the opening round at UFC FN 68.

No other bouts have been confirmed yet for UFC FN 77.
