UFC lightweight world champion, lethal Brazilian Charles Oliveira (31-8), will make the 1st defense of his crown against thrilling, popular American challenger and # 1 ranked fighter Dustin Poirier (28-6) in the main event of the hot UFC 269.
The 32-year-old Dustin Poirier, widely-admired for his philanthropy and charity work for noble causes, is the same exciting warrior who rocked and stopped “The Notorious” Conor McGregor in one stormy round last July, you remember?
The intriguing Oliveira vs Poirier UFC Lightweight world title clash – not at all an easy fight for either the two fighters – is set to roll on this coming Saturday, Dec 11, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas; and that so popular venue will surely be at full capacity.
Will the strong Brazilian score a record 15th submission over the cool American from Florida to retain his shining belt?
Or will the more-popular Dustin Poirier stun and dethrone the dangerous Oliveira to become the new UFC Lightweight champion of world?
We’ve got to find out!
The show is promoted by the UFC live on PPV.
May the Best Man Win!
