Former two division UFC champion Conor McGregor has previously called for a total lockdown in Ireland due to the coronavirus pandemic and now he has taken things a step further to help the battle against the coronavirus.
That step for McGregor is to donate $1 million Euros, approximately $1,088,000 USD to hospitals across the country of Ireland.
The fighter revealed that he was making the donation, which will go towards medical supplies, while having a conversation with Irish political figure Paschal Donohoe, which McGregor posted on Twitter:
Thank you sincerely for your message, Minister Paschal Donohoe.
