Recently tensions spiked quickly after Dustin Poirier publicly shared out that Conor McGregor has yet to make the donation he pledged earlier this year. But, now Poirier has admitted he made a “mistake” in going public about the situation.

Ahead of their second bout this past January, McGregor announced he would donate $50,000 to Poirier’s  The Good Fight Foundation. More recently, with the July 10th rubber match approaching, the former interim lightweight champ reported McGregor’s donation had yet to come in.

That prompted an angry response from McGregor, who claimed his team was waiting for details on how the donation would be spent, before initiating it.

Since then, Poirier tweeted out the comment below.

“I am very passionate about my charity as you all know. I jumped the gun and took private matters between Conor (and) my foundation public. My mistake, we live, we learn. Spreading positivity (and) doing good is my goal! I feel like I have brought a negative energy and personal opinions into something I am working so hard on that gives people a reason to cheer and smile. I will take this in stride and continue to fight the Good Fight.”

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
