Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira will both be looking for authenticity when they go head-to-head at UFC 269 on Saturday night.
Oliveira will enter the Octagon as the UFC lightweight champion with the opportunity to extend her winning streak to 10 fights. However, Poirier is really a winner despite being a challenger, as he has won seven of his last eight matches with the only loss coming to Khabib Nurmagomedov. That should provide a lot of impetus for Oliveira.
Poirier, meanwhile, is looking to win an undisputed title for the first time in his illustrious career. He painfully realized that it was the only box he hadn’t checked.
“Winning the title is my ultimate goal,” Poirier said (via Yahoo Sports ‘Kevin Iole). “It’s at the top of the to-do list in mixed martial arts, so it’s very important to me.”
Regardless of which man leaves Las Vegas with the lightweight belt, both will leave with some big checks. This is how much the two boxers will make on Saturday.
