Burtonport native Duffy was beaten by Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas in January at UFC 195, in a bout that had been planned for October, only for Duffy to suffer concussion in sparring a week before the date in Dublin’s 3Arena.
Poirier’s 30-26 30-27 30-27 win was Duffy’s first defeat since he signed a contract with the UFC.
Clarke is 11-3 as a mixed martial artist with his most notable win against Al Iaquinta at UFC 173. Clarke also lost his last bout, against Michael Chiesa.
