Earlier, The Diamond auctioned off his UFC 257 fight kit for a massive $26,200, with all the proceeds going to his charity.

He has made it a habit to auction off his memorabilia in order to help the foundation. His opponent at UFC 257, Conor McGregor also made a sizeable donation before their fight.
