Dustin Poirier Featured in emotional 'My Wish' series on ESPN
By Amy Kaplan
Dustin Poirier has long since been thought of as one of the nicest men in MMA. He's always kept charity and philanthropy at the top of his to-do list and his newest feature is no different.
According to ESPN, the BMF challenger will be featured on an upcoming episode of My Wish a series on ESPN that "will feature stars from the NFL, MLB and the UFC. Since its beginning in 2006, the series has worked with Make-A-Wish to fulfill 79 sports-themed wishes for children with critical illnesses."
This is so up the alley for Poirier who is deep into charity in his hometown of Lafayette, LA.
Not a lot is known about the wish, but it will pertain to 17-year-old Alden Cary of Davidson, N.C., and is set to air on Tuesday, July 18 during the 6 p.m. ET editions of SportsCenter.
Here's the full line-up for the series:
- Sunday, July 16 – Mike Trout/Los Angeles Angels
- Monday, July 17 – Ja’Marr Chase/Cincinnati Bengals
- Tuesday, July 18 – Dustin Poirier/UFC
- Wednesday, July 19 – Josh Allen/Buffalo Bills
