Joseph Duffy gets new opponent for UFC debut after Vagner Rocha withdraws due to injury

Joseph Duffy must have gotten a pang of disappointment when his opponent for UFC 185, Vagner Rocha, pulled out of their March fight.

But any fear of his promotional debut being struck from the event was shortlived as Jake Lindsey will step in to fight Duffy (12-1) at the event that is headlined by a lightweight championship fight between Anthony Pettis and Rafael dos Anjos.
