Conor McGregor’s ‘Game-Changing’ Partnership With Ryan Reynolds Prompts 5-Word Appreciation From Wrexham Star Paul Mullin

The fairy-tale story of Wrexham AFC has been captivating fans across the globe with its meteoric rise. Hollywood’s own Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became the owners of the Welsh soccer club in 2020, giving fans hope for good fortunes and success.

Ever since then, the team has been on a roll and this season is even close to gaining promotion to the fourth division. The Red Dragons currently sit at the top of the table in the National League with a lead of 4 points over its competition.

This success story wasn’t lost on the global MMA megastar, Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ graciously donated to a Wrexham-based charity before Wrexham’s game against Yeovil Town and even prompted words of appreciation from Wrexham star Paul Mullin.

The interaction between Conor McGregor and Paul Mullin

McGregor, who is renowned for his own brand of quality beer, ‘Forged’ Irish stout, decided to set up a pop-up truck outside the stadium to sell his beer. On top of that, he even decided to donate the proceeds to the local charity, ‘Your Space’, which raises awareness and helps support those affected by autism.

The former dual-weight champion also took to Twitter to share his message of support for this noble venture. “Taking my @ForgedStout tank in to the absolute magic that is happening at @Wrexham_AFC, and in aid of helping a great charity ‘Your Space’ that raises awareness and support for autism,” the star wrote. Drop by and show love if you are in town. Try out the game changer”.

This also caught the attention of Wrexham’s one of the team’s stars, Paul Mullin. Basking in McGregor’s support for the city, Mullin took to Twitter to respond simply with five words, “We Appreciate it Champ Champ”.

Paul Mullin himself became a member of this foundation recently when his son was diagnosed with autism. The partnership was clearly in full swing by the time the game day arrived.

On the April 18, match day, the Forged truck was up and running in Wrexham. The proceeds from the beer sales were also donated to the Autism charity. With a successful mission accomplished outside the stadium, Mullin managed to replicate the same performance on the pitch.

Mullin helped his team win the match against Yeovil Town by scoring a goal in a 3-0 victory. Conor McGregor’s generous donation to Wrexham’s local charity and their cause has been a mood-lifter. It certainly will be a source of motivation for the entire team. Paul Mullin reiterated the same with his powerful performance.
