Great news for MMA fans…
As the days tick by and we edge ever closer to UFC Dublin, our excitement is climbing rapidly along with it.
We’ve already heard that Joseph Duffy will headline the card in a bout with American Dustin Poirier, but Antrim fighter Norman Parke has also been added to the card.
The UFC lightweight will take on Reza Madadi at UFC Fight Night 77 at the 3Arena, according to The Sun.
Parke is coming into the fight after suffering back-to-back decision losses to Gleison Tibau and Francisco Trinaldo by split-decision.
Reza Madadi will not be a well known name for casual fans but he does hold an impressive victory over top ten UFC lightweight Michael Johnson.
