Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in the UFC. Despite his immense popularity he never forgets his humble roots. The fighter revealed he was picking up social security just a week before his debut almost 7 years ago. ‘Notorious’ has given back generously to society.

The ‘Notorious’ said he had helped in building eight 3- bedroom houses. These were to be used to provide homes to families residing in hotels in the Irish capital. It was for those, “without a home to calm their own.”

McGregor took to Twitter and urged the Dublin City Council to sign off on the properties. He wrote, “Waiting on Dublin City council to sign off here. These impeccably built homes are now ready for tenants to move in. Please DCC, sign off on these. We have people without residence eagerly awaiting to move in. We are built and ready to go.”

His quick initiative ensures the homeless have a place to go to and self-isolate amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. The ‘Notorious’ has been at the forefront in helping medical personnel financially as they aim to combat the pandemic. He gave 1 million euros worth of medical equipment to Irish hospitals last month. The fighter has promised to donate more in the future. 

McGregor intended to make up for lost time by competing three times a year. ‘Notorious’ returned in style this January with a 40-second first-round win over Donald Cerrone. However, the pandemic could disrupt his intentions. He is one of the international fighters in the UFC. Hence he was not able to feature at UFC 249 despite saying he was ready. 

It remains to be seen if ‘Notorious’ will be called for any of the UFC events over the next 2 months at a secret location. The 3rd ranked Lightweight has competed in the Octagon just twice since November 2016. He made a long-awaited return this year and Eddie Alvarez via TKO. 

He continues to remain fit and stay in shape as he aims to be ready to fight at short notice.
