"Long rumored" ???
Some people can't help themselves but to use clickbait titles. Yahoo has created a large population of attention craving idiots.

Yahoo is still running?

Barely. Apparently they have writers posting on Sherdog now, just for something to keep them busy. .

 

[HaulParris]

All day.

 

[1.11]

Duffy will put Vick away in round 1.

 

[TKing]

Winner of this needs to be elevated to take on a top end top 10 guy. Both are fun to watch and could make for some fun new matchups.

 

[sonhow]

Duffy via jab

 

[vanguard86]

Duffy needs some exposure, don't understand why UFC don't promote him much.

 

[VVarhead]

That is a fucking hell of a fight!!!!!

James Vick by TKO.

 

[HaulParris]

Duffy needs some exposure, don't understand why UFC don't promote him much.

I think it's a combination of:
1) He pulled out last minute from a Poirier main event fight in the last year or two, that was in Duffy's home country (correct me if I'm wrong), and
2) He just renegotiated his contract and was hinting at becoming a free agent.

 

[Akabignasty]

Duffy

 

[The_Renaissance]

Excellent fight, potential FOTN material.

I've just played back Dariush vs. Vick in my head and I'm convinced Duffy KO's him. It'll be a wicked back-and-forth effort though.

 

[drbolony]

That's a sick fight! 217 gonna be stupid!

 

[Venom]

James Vick by unfair size advantage.

 

[Shadey1]

Dig this fight. Going with vick by decision

 

[Joseph_McBride]

2 of biggest LWs, both prime candidates for 165 lb weight class. This is the 11th fight added, maybe the 5th main card bout

 

[Joseph_McBride]

James Vick by unfair size advantage.

Duffy is pretty big hinself. Made Poirier look tiny at UFC 195

Duffy is pretty big hinself. Made Poirier look tiny at UFC 195

He may be a tad larger than Conor McGregor but Vick is the giant of the division.
