Dustin Poirer Career Earnings In The UFC

Dustin Poirier career earnings in the UFC total up to more than $2 million.

Poirier, 30, is one of the most mentally tough fighters in the sport today.

After spending a significant portion of his career as someone who was labeled extremely talented, but not good enough to win a title, he proved his critics wrong in 2018.

Within consecutive victories over Jim Miller, Anthony Pettis, Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez, Poirier earned a shot at the interim lightweight championship of the world against Max Holloway.

Although Holloway put up a valiant effort in the interim title bout, there was no doubt who the victor was.

In winning that belt, Poirier also earned himself a shot at the real championship against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242.
