Joseph Duffy will return to the Octagon this July as he faces Canadian Mitch Clarke  in a lightweight bout.

The Donegal fighter will feature on the UFC's Fight Night 90 card, headlined by Rafael Dos Anjos and Eddie Alvarez.

Duffy was beaten by Dustin Poirier last time out via unanimous decision in Las Vegas after pulling out of the UFC Fight Night 76 event he was set to headline in Dublin.

Holding a professional record of 14-2-0, Duffy began his UFC career with two victories over Ivan Jorge and Jake Lindsey beating the pair via submission and TKO respectively.
