“Giga is a great role model for athletes who want to help those in need by giving back to their community,” said UFC President Dana White. “Giga sets a perfect example by making a positive impact on his community by helping those effected by cancer with anything they need, while staying out of the spotlight. He understands that it’s not about publicity, it’s just the right thing to do. It’s an honor to present him with this award.”
