Timeline
Joseph Duffy (born 18 February 1988) is an Irish retired mixed martial artist who competed in the lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
A professional since 2008, he has formerly competed for Cage Warriors and was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck.
He is also a former professional boxer.
He holds a notable victory over the former UFC lightweight and featherweight double-champion, Conor McGregor.
Duffy is from Meenbanad, Burtonport, County Donegal.
His family emigrated when he was young to the industrial town of Ebbw Vale in Wales, from where they travelled back and forth to Burtonport regularly.
Duffy is an avid rugby fan, and growing up he says "I would always have made it known I wasn’t from Wales", which made his support for Ireland during the Six Nations a bit difficult sometimes.
He claimed "if Ireland lost in the rugby, I would try to skip the next day at school, just to avoid the hassle it would bring".
Duffy also played the sport through his youth, and despite captaining his school’s rugby team, it was martial arts that always occupied the majority of Duffy’s time.
He started with taekwon-do before progressing to traditional jiu-jitsu, a foundation that eventually led him to a career in professional MMA.
Despite knowing from an early age that he wanted to be a MMA fighter, Duffy said "I always wondered how I would get on in boxing".
He continued "it was never something I thought about pursuing. I had never boxed, even at amateur, until a few years ago".
Duffy cited "the opportunity to work with one of the best coaches in the boxing world" as the main reason for his switch, and the chance "to spar with some of the best fighters in the world; James DeGale, Andy Lee, George Groves, Chris Eubank, Jr.", something he deemed "priceless".
The decision was then made even easier, with Duffy explaining "I was fortunate enough to have sponsors to back me as well. That took care of the financial worries".
When reflecting on the experience, he stated "More than anything, I’m a person who doesn’t want to have any regrets. When I’m old I want to be able to say that I gave it a go. That’s what it was. I got to fight professionally and I got to spar with some of the best fighters in the world".
Duffy started his career as a welterweight, fighting in various regional promotions across the UK.
It was after this fight that Duffy signed with Cage Warriors, the biggest MMA promotion in Europe.
In February 2010, Duffy was announced as a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter 12 where he competed as a lightweight.
In his first fight, Duffy lost to Kyle Watson via rear-naked choke in the first round, and was subsequently eliminated from the show.
Duffy made his name and rose to prominence while fighting under the CWFC banner.
In his first bout with the promotion, Duffy submitted Conor McGregor, another Irish fighter who went on to UFC stardom.
In 2011, Duffy earned a Cage Warriors title shot against Ivan Musardo.
Duffy lost the fight, breaking his hand in the third round, and being subsequently submitted in the fourth.
Following his recovery, Duffy switched his attention to pro boxing.
He amassed a 7–0 record before returning to Cage Warriors in 2014.
Duffy's first fight back was against Frenchman, Damien Lapilus.
Duffy won via rear-naked choke, 2 minutes and 18 seconds into the third round.
Three months later he defeated another Frenchman, Julien Boussuge.
This time detecting his opponent's intention for a takedown, and connecting a clean knee to the head when Boussuge changed levels.
It was an instant knockout.
In January 2015, the UFC announced they had signed Duffy.
Duffy was expected to make his promotional debut against Vagner Rocha on 14 March 2015 at UFC 185.

He won the fight via submission in the first round.
