Mixed martial arts night! This Saturday, December 11, the UFC 269 will take place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, where Dustin Poirier will face champion Charles Oliveira, who won his belt by knockout against Michael Chandler. On the other hand, the American comes from defeating Conor McGregor twice.
'The Diamond' will seek to continue the streak he started against the Irishman and take away the lightweight world title from the Brazilian, who has not been defeated since December 2017. In the preview of UFC 269, Dustin Poirier stated that the failure against Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2019 taught him many lessons.
"Being a world champion is forever and it would mean a lot to me and my family. I am a better fighter, more complete and with more experience," said the American.
On the other hand, the defending champion assured that he entered the octagon to be "one of the best in UFC history." In 11 years, Oliveira has earned the respect of all his colleagues.
