Khabib Nurmagomedov has raised US$100,000 for Dustin Poirier’s charity by selling the American’s T-shirt after their fight at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi.
UFC president Dana White has also kept his promise from the post-event press conference and matched the donation, Poirier confirmed.
Khabib and “The Diamond” swapped shirts in an emotional show of respect after the Russian retained his lightweight title earlier this month. The undefeated Dagestani then vowed to sell Poirier’s shirt and raise money for the Good Fight Foundation.
“I had no clue he was gonna do that. He raised a lot of money. It was the biggest donation we’ve ever had with the foundation,” Poirier told Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on ESPN.
