“God Bless You Dustin” – After Dana White Gives $1,000,000 To Help Hawaii, Dustin Poirier’s Gesture Wins Hearts of UFC Fans

In the world of MMA, Dustin Poirier might be one of the best fighters to never hold UFC gold—quite a common theme for fighters competing in the UFC’s lightweight division. A technical striker, Poirier is best known for his crisp boxing and durability inside the ring, making him one of the fan favorites.

Apart from his octagon skills, there’s something else that fans love about ‘Diamond’, and no, it’s not his rivalry with Conor McGregor. For those who haven’t guessed it yet, it’s his charitable works and community service. Staying true to his reputation, the fighter has once again stepped up in support of those in need, especially in a time of crisis.

Dustin Poirier has donated $10,000 to the Maui Food Bank

The American state of Hawaii is currently facing one of the worst natural disasters in its recent history due to wildfires that have broken out in Maui County. These fires have tragically claimed 115 lives as of the writing of this article, with many more missing.  In such catastrophic times, many people are coming forward to support the state, including UFC’s former interim champion, Dustin Poirier.

This information was recently shared on Poirier’s NGO, The Good Fight Foundation’s social media account. The handle posted a picture of Poirier holding a large check for $10,000. This comes after UFC president Dana White announced a $ 1 million donation for the same cause. Along with the picture, the post expresses gratitude to Hawaiian UFC fighter Max Holloway, who brought the attention of the world to this disaster.

Apart from his own endeavors, Poirier has made donations to various charitable organizations like the American Red Cross and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Another addition to many other reasons why he is so deeply respected within the MMA community.

Fans react to ‘Diamond’s helping hand to Hawaii and Hawaiians
