Conor McGregor Donates €10,000 to Fund Young Irish MMA Fighters for Their Trip to the IMMAF World Championships in Abu Dhabi

Conor McGregor is the wealthiest fighter in the UFC and he is always looking out for his fellow Irish fighters. Recently, the former double champion donated €10,000 to Fund the trip for young Irish MMA fighters, Adam and Dylan Duffy, so that they can compete in a mixed martial arts tournament in Abu Dhabi.

According to reports, the twins were delighted to find out that their hero, McGregor, donated such a large amount for them to chase their dreams. Adam said, “I was going insane! I thought he was joking until he showed me the comments. I feel like I have to win now because he donated all that money!”

The twins were looking to compete at the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) World Championships in Abu Dhabi later this year. The Notorious donated the amount to the fundraiser aimed at this cause.

This is not the first time that Conor McGregor has donated to a fellow Irish fighter. Last year, the Irishman donated  €10,000 to help MMA fighter Ian Coughlan after an injury that left him paralyzed.

Conor McGregor shares footage of kicking with his previously injured leg

The former double division champion suffered a terrible injury last year when he broke his leg in the trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 261. McGregor had not been able to completely step up his training ever since then, as his leg needed to heal. The fighter recently shared footage of himself starting to use his legs to kick again, which could mean we can see him in the octagon this year.

McGregor was throwing heavy leg kicks at the punching bag in a training session with his team. After the kicking session, he also said, “They were nice, good.” The fighter was fired up after throwing the leg kicks and seemed pumped to start using his leg again in full capacity.
