Conor McGregor doesn't always hit headlines for the right reasons, however this time he has.
Despite being a global superstar, Conor hasn't forgotten where he has come from.
The 30-year-old has kindly donated €10,000 to an Irish boy who’s awaiting life-changing surgery.

The 5-year-old, Bryan Buckley, known as Bru received a Sepsis diagnosis last year.
Heartbreakingly, the young child hasn't been able to eat or walk and has an NG tube up his nose.
His mum, Grainne had set up a GoFundMe to raise money towards Bru's medical expenses, so she can "get private care and the help he deserves."

As of yesterday, the GoFundMe had managed to raise a little over €3,000.
However, the MMA fighter quickly changed that by donating the €10,000, which had been their original target.
Conor had given the money anonymously, but mum Grainne made sure to publicly thank the star for his generosity.

Taking to Twitter, she wrote: “We are forever grateful. I will never forget what you have done for my boy, you truly are a legend.”
Incredibly, their GoFundMe has now reached over €14,000, with donations still flooding in.
We are wishing Bryan the very best of luck with his surgery and we hope he gets better soon.
