The American fighter has now made it his trademark to sell his gear on auction after fights to help support his charity ‘The Good Fight Foundation’.
This gear might be worth a little more than usual with it being used in his TKO victory in the second round over the ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor.
‘The Good Fight’ helps “helps bridge the gap in academic success by providing transportation and tutoring” in what is called “Project Learn.”
MMA Junkie report of Poirier’s fight kit going up for sale on eBay, but also that the Irishman made a very notable donation to Poirier’s cause as he donated $500,000 to the charity after his loss.
A very classy touch from the fighter in what must be a tough time for him in his career. Dustin revealed that he will use Conor’s money to create an MMA gym for young people where memberships are paid as long as the children promise to do their school work.
Poirier’s fight kit was first put up at $15,000 but now sits at $17,600 after 9 bids*. The bidding will close on February 5th and it’s sure to rise substantially from this amount by then.
Up for sale are his gloves, hand wraps, hat, fight pass, shirt and trunks. A collector’s dream.
