Conor McGregor donates £8,600 for youngsters to follow youth MMA championship dreams

Conor McGregor has paid out around €10,000, or £8,600, to make sure that two Irish twins can achieve their dreams of fighting at a youth MMA tournament.

The Irish UFC legend is currently nursing a broken leg but has kept a keen eye on the sport at all levels, from his own promotion all the way down to youth teams. And when he learned that Irish brothers Adam and Dylan Duffy were struggling to reach their €6,000 goal on GoFundMe to make it to Abu Dhabi for the IMMAF youth championships, he stepped in with a monster donation.

McGregor has met the twins before at his Dublin hotspot, the Black Forge Inn, where he signed toys for the pair during a January meeting. He shared a photo at the time with the duo, and would later go on to make their dream trip to Abu Dhabi come true.
