BAD MMA News — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 00:16:26 +0000

Dustin Poirier In this week’s Trading Shots, retired WEC and UFC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes to discuss late-notice fights and last-minute changes at UFC Fight Night 76.

Then Joseph Duffy had to pull out of his main event fight with Dustin Poirier due to a concussion suffered in training. Poirier was offered Norman Parke as a last-minute replacement opponent in an interesting turn of events, but he turned it down. What do you think of his decision?
