Dustin Poirier Raises $6,500 for Fallen Police Corporal’s Family

It’s been a good week for Dustin Poirier.

It started when “The Diamond” defeated former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis at UFC Fight Night 120 last Saturday. It got better when he successfully sold the fight kit he wore in his victory on Ebay for $6,500. The 28-year-old will be donating all proceeds to the family of Corporal Michael Middlebrook, a nine-year veteran of the Lafayette Police Department. Lafayette, LA is Poirier’s hometown.
