UFC's Dustin Poirier Apologizes for Calling out Conor McGregor over Donation
Dustin Poirier issued an apology Wednesday for comments about Conor McGregor not making a donation to his charity after their January fight.
Poirier wrote in the statement his decision to make the situation public was a "mistake":
The Diamond 1-1 July 10th we will settle the score! Excited for the Trilogy with @TheNotoriousMMA but wanted to address this first. pic.twitter.com/03GaPPSfeH
UFC president Dana White announced earlier Wednesday that McGregor and Poirier will fight for a third time July 10.
They split the first two meetings. McGregor won by knockout at UFC 178 in September 2014. Poirier leveled the score with a knockout of his own in January at UFC 257.
