Joseph Duffy will return to action for the first time in over a year when he meets former BAMMA champion Marc Diakiese at UFC London on Mar. 16.
The UFC officially announced the contest via social media Saturday following an initial report from Myles Hutton.
Duffy (16-3-0) will go into the lightweight contest on the back the first TKO loss of his career, which he suffered at the hands of James Vick at UFC 217 in New York in Nov. 2017. The loss to Vick snapped a two-fight win streak for the Irishman having claimed consecutive wins over Mitch Clarke and Reza Madadi.
