Dustin Poirier is doing his part to help during the COVID-19 crisis.
The UFC lightweight’s charity, The Good Fight Foundation, announced on social media that it will partner with Deanos Pizza to donate 1,000 meals to medical personnel in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Easter and throughout the coming week.
The statement from the Good Fight Foundation is as follows:
The Good Fight Foundation will be teaming up with Deanos Pizza and donating 1,000 meals to the hospital staff on the front lines of COVID-19 in Lafayette, LA (on) Easter Sunday and throughout next week. Wishing you all a safe an Happy Easter.
We will be donating 1,000 meals Easter Sunday! Thank you all for the support. #fightthegoodfight pic.twitter.com/SbbOEOmzdQ

The Good Fight Foundation became a registered non-profit organization in 2018, as Poirier’s family began auctioning off his fight gear from UFC bouts to benefit the community. In recent years, The Good Fight has raised thousands of dollars for numerous causes, including slain police officer Michael Middlebrook, supplies for Acadian Middle School students and a playground for disabled children. Donations to the charity can be made here.
Poirier was scheduled to face Dan Hooker in the UFC San Diego main event on May 16 before California banned combat sports in the state through the end of May due to the coronavirus pandemic. “The Diamond” last appeared at UFC 242, where he was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov in the third round of their lightweight championship clash.
