In 2010, when the young Conor McGregor in just 38 seconds, Joseph Duffy seemed to be adding just one more victory to his record. With the rise of his compatriot, however, Duffy has now been marked as “McGregor's last tormentor” and recently signed a contract with Ultimate. The Irishman's debut has already been decided and will be against a Brazilian, Vágner Rocha, on March 14, at UFC 185.
