A closer look at Dustin Poirier’s fight earnings and business ventures.
Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier, a former interim UFC lightweight champion and black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is set for his retirement fight at UFC 318 on July 19, 2025, in a BMF title clash against Max Holloway, a former UFC featherweight champion.
Currently ranked No. 6 in the lightweight division, Poirier made his UFC debut in 2010 following the WEC merger and shot to global fame with back-to-back wins over Conor McGregor in 2021. He has a record of 30-9, including winning 15 by knockouts. After years of wars inside the octagon and business ventures, what is the veteran’s net worth today?

A year later, in 2023, he and his wife, Jolie, teamed up with three other Lafayette locals to purchase “Marcello’s Wine Market.” While exact earnings from these ventures remain undisclosed, they’ve certainly added to his growing portfolio.
On the philanthropic side, Poirier and Jolie founded “The Good Fight Foundation” in 2018. The nonprofit has supported a range of causes, from helping local families and frontline workers to funding educational and food programs. Poirier has even auctioned his fight kits to raise money for Lafayette schoolchildren and the Second Harvest Food Bank.

According to MMA Salaries, Dustin Poirier has earned an estimated $10 million over the course of his UFC career. His biggest payday came at UFC 257 in 2021, when he defeated Conor McGregor in their high-profile rematch. Poirier was guaranteed $1 million, even in the event of a loss, but walked away with $5 million following his victory.
While details of his pay-per-view share for that event remain undisclosed, it likely added a significant boost to his earnings.
