Pic: Dustin Poirier’s heavy strikes certainly left their mark on Joseph Duffy’s face

Joseph Duffy and Dustin Poirier will be feeling sore for a while.

The two warriors put on one hell of a fight on the Fight Pass exclusive early prelims of the UFC 195 card. After both fighters traded on the feet early, Poirier utilised his superior wrestling to take it down to the mat where he unloaded a world of vicious ground and pound on the Donegal fighter, which saw him get the nod from the judges. https://twitter.com/ZProphet_MMA/status/683727473729748998?lang=en Poirier admitted that Duffy's stellar punching power "crushed" his nose but a photo has surfaced online of the Irish fighter showing the effect that all those strikes to the head had on the Tri-Star lightweight. https://twitter.com/ZProphet_MMA/status/683719211278024704 Ouch! Chin up, Joe. No doubt you'll be back better and stronger for the next one.
