Dustin Poirier has confirmed that he will keep his promise to donate $ 20,000 to a charity chosen by Charles Oliveira.
At UFC 269, Charles Oliveira submitted Dustin Poirier to successfully retain his UFC lightweight championship. The first round-trip was followed by an emphatic second-round performance of ‘Do Bronx’, leaving Poirier wondering what’s next for him in the UFC.
Immediately after the main event, we saw Poirier tell Oliveira that he wanted to donate $ 20,000 to a charity chosen by the Brazilian. A few days ago, Charles spoke on the subject in an interview for Sherdog.com. There, the Brazilian pointed out that he had not yet received the money and was not sure what would happen. Charles and his team seem to have complications with the bureaucratic side of the matter.
“When they ask me, I just tell people that the money hasn’t arrived yet. But if Dustin really wants to donate and needs the bureaucratic papers, I will choose a social project in my area. The most important thing is to help people in need. But to be honest, after all the headaches I’ve been dealing with from that proposal in the Octagon, I don’t know if it was really a good thing anymore. “
Poirier has come out to provide fans with an update on the situation.
For anyone asking about the $20k donation I promised, of course I’m going to honor it! We have been in contact with Charles and his team. We are waiting for them to figure out what project they want it donated to.

Both men showed a lot of class before and after the fight, which has been a regular component of their personalities throughout their respective careers. In the future, they will continue to follow the same path, and we would be intrigued to see if they ever cross paths again in the Octagon.
