Dustin Poirier auctions off UFC 302 fight kit for charity

Once again, UFC superstar and hometown hero Dustin Poirier is giving back to his community in a big way. Poirier announced that his UFC 302 fight kit auction is now live, with all proceeds going towards his annual school supply giveaway.

The lightweight championship fight kit includes gold UFC gloves (first worn on 302), custom shorts, fight wraps and even Poirier’s personal fighter access card. This memorabilia is a rare and valuable piece for any fan or collector, especially since Poirier hinted that his fight at UFC 302 may have been his last.

Every penny raised through the auction will go to The Good Fight Foundation, Poirier’s charity, to fund the annual back-to-school drive. The initiative aims to provide more than 1,000 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to families in need in Lafayette Parish.

Known as a champion both inside and outside the octagon, Poirier’s dedication to his hometown has been undeniable since the beginning of his career. His efforts through The Good Fight Foundation continue to make a significant impact on the lives of many in our community.

If you or someone you know is a fan of Poirier, the UFC or sports memorabilia, now is the time to take action. Not only will you gain a piece of UFC history, but you will also directly support local families in need here in Lafayette.
