Head coach of the Irish Youth MMA team responds to Conor McGregor’s donation
Irish Youth MMA team’s head coach was elated with McGregor’s help, as he responded with a message of his own. His statement read:
“This gesture by Conor has come at a time when Irish MMA needed it most. Gyms were among the worst hit by the Covid pandemic and throughout 2020, thousands of young athletes were unable to train on the mats with their teammates and coaches.“
