Dustin Poirier Auctioning Off UFC 302 Fight Kit for Good Cause

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 dedicated to his annual school supply giveaway.

This memorabilia is a rare and valuable piece for any fan or collector, especially with Poirier hinting that his battle at UFC 302 might have been his last.
