UFC superstar Conor McGregor may have a list of publicized misdeeds, but the man has his fair share of charitable deeds, too. Recently, “The Notorious” decided to sponsor the entire Irish youth team that’s set to compete in the 2021 IMMAF Youth MMA Championships.

The event will take place in Bulgaria from July 29 to August 1st. According to the IMMAF, McGregor will pay for the entry fees, flights, and accommodation of 27 competitors and 20 coaches.

He also sent them a message of encouragement.

Wishing the Irish squad the very best of luck in their quest at the world championships this year!
