Remember that Dustin Poirier T-shirt which Khabib Nurmagomedov wore after UFC 242 and later auctioned off for a cool $100,000? Well RT Sport can send you its location.
The T-shirt in question was worn by Poirier for his title fight walkout against lightweight champ Khabib in Abu Dhabi in September.
Emblazoned with Poirier’s name and a diamond to represent his fighting moniker, the item was donned by Khabib post-fight as a show of respect to his beaten opponent.

RT Sport has now cracked half that conundrum as we can reveal that the T-shirt hangs on a wall at a gym in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where the head of the national MMA association, Otabek Umarov, trains.
We uncovered the T-shirt’s destination on a recent trip to a GFC MMA event in the city attended by Khabib and where his cousin was in action.
“We were presented with this T-shirt and I decided to place it in the gym where we work out,” Uzbek MMA boss Umarov told RT Sport.
“We don’t just have amateurs here, but also pro athletes and champions. I decided that the T-shirt belongs here.”
But while RT Sport can share the location of the T-shirt, Umarov remained tight-lipped over the buyer, simply saying that it had been given to the gym “when Khabib and his team came here.”
