Former UFC champion Anthony Pettis is set to face Dustin Poirier in what will surely be an explosive matchup on Nov. 11 at UFC Norfolk

Poirier, who moved up to the lightweight ranks from 145-pounds in 2015, is hoping to continue his impressive run in the division with a win over the former champion at 155 pounds. The 28-year-old has five wins, one loss and one No Contest in his second stint at lightweight.

Pettis, who suffered a three fight skid (losing his title in the process) before a win over Charles Oliveira at 145-pounds set him up with an interim title contest against Max Holloway at UFC 206. Pettis missed weight, lost the bout and moved back up to 155, taking a win over Jim Miller in July this year.
