Despite his loss at this past weekend’s UFC 127 event, light heavyweight James Te Huna donated his entire fight purse to victims of Australia and New Zealand’s recent flooding. Now the UFC is matching the fighter’s generosity.
“Jamie Te Huna donated his fight purse,” said Marshall Zelaznik, the UFC’s managing director of international development. “The UFC is actually matching that for the relief in New Zealand. We’re also still taking bids for UFC 127 memorabilia. We expect to approach $30,000 as part of a donation for the Queensland flood relief.”
Auction items include the UFC 127 octagon canvas, Jon Fitch’s event shorts, Michael Bisping’s gloves and walk-out shirt, Jorge Rivera’s full walk-out gear, and Kyle Noke’s shorts and shirt.
