Poirier will take on Charles Oliveira of Brazil on December 11th as part of UFC 269.

A new fighter is representing Lafayette and Baton Rouge on the fight-scene in a major way by winning the opening fight of 'Dana White's Contender Series' on ESPN. AJ Fletcher won by knockout in the first round with a spectacular flying knee that has many believing he could be the next UFC big fighter to represent South Louisiana.

The money will help build homes for the Batwa Pygmy people in Uganda.

Lafayette Legend Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor are currently in talks about a charity exhibition fight. The bout would take the Louisiana fighter to Ireland to hop in the octagon against one of the most famous combat sports athletes of all time, Conor McGregor.

Lafayette native and UFC fighter, Dustin Poirier, is going to cover the tab of everyone that watches UFC on ESPN 12 this Saturday at Broaddus Burger.

Live sports return as UFC 249 is set to take place in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, May 9.

The superstar fighter has had a number of issues out of the octagon, including multiple arrests and failed drug tests.

Lafayette's own Daniel Cormier is the former light-heavyweight and heavyweight champion.

These guys had been locked in heated smack all week leading up to the fight and then the fastest knockout in UFC history happened on Saturday.

Not just Louisiana, but Lafayette owns two UFC titles now.

It's Dustin Poirier's first shot at a world title and it will take place Saturday night as part of UFC 236.

Quite an honor when you consider he's placed well ahead of people like Drew Brees (15) and Lebron James (12).
