These are the UFC 269: Charles Oliveira vs Dustin Poirier results.
UFC 269 featured two high stakes winner take all battles between lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier as well as a women’s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña. Who won at UFC 269?
Since defeating Conor McGregor twice within the calendar year, Dustin Poirier has seen his market value skyrocket. Many who didn’t know his name before have a much better idea of who this fighter is now. He’s an every man in a sense, a man who has been grinding to reach the top. Now he has opportunity to cement his legacy by becoming the undisputed lightweight champion. But standing in his way is another man with quite a similar story.
Charles Oliveira was at one point considered a good fighter who would never reach the top of the mountain. He was certainly skilled as his record breaking submission wins would indicate. That said Oliveira had lost some pretty important fights earlier in his career. But the last few years have seen the young fighter with tons of potential mature into a wrecking machine of a talent.
En route to winning the UFC lightweight championship, Charles Oliveira dispatched the likes of Kevin Lee, Tony Ferguson, and Michael Chandler. Now he is faced with defending his title against a game and hungry Dustin Poirier who hopes to cap off his Cinderella story with a lightweight belt.
Anyone could win this match up. Both Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier have all the tools to take the other out. It will be about who has the better game plan. It will be about who wants it more.
