Khabib Nurmagomedov managed to get six figures for Dustin Poirier ’s fight-worn shirt from their UFC 242 championship bout – all of which will go to charity. In the aftermath of Nurmagomedov’s (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) submission victory over Poirier (25-6 MMA, 17-5 UFC) to defend the lightweight title this month, the two competitors exchanged Reebok shirts inside the octagon in a heartwarming moment of sportsmanship. Nurmagomedov said he planned to auction the shirt off, with all the proceeds going to Poirier’s charity, The Good Fight Foundation , in partnership with Justin Wren’s Fight For The Forgotten . With more than 17 million total social media followers, Nurmagomedov felt he could get a significant price, and he was right.
