Conor McGregor, Dana White & UFC Stars Make Strong Request to Fans on 21st Anniversary of 9/11: ‘Never Forget’

The date 11 September 2001 will forever be etched in the minds of everyone in America. This was the day the country saw its worst ever terror attack and each year, tributes pour in from all sides of the spectrum to honor the bravehearts who took part in the rescue operation as well as those who lost their lives.

UFC star Conor McGregor took to his social media to honor all the first responders on that tragic day. 

The Notorious shared a deep message through his tweet, “Every day and especially on September 11 we must honor our first responders for their bravery and service ❤️🙏”

This is not the first time that McGregor has paid his tribute to the people whose lives were affected by the terror attack. Last year, the Irishman posted a heartfelt message on his social media.

He said, “We’re flying into New York City here tonight on the 20-year anniversary of 9/11. I just want to pour a round of this glass of Proper 12 and remember this for the people that 20 years ago lost their lives, for the people that fought to save lives, and for the many families that were impacted and still are impacted by this. I wanted to say, may we never forget? I want to even say on the 20-year anniversary that we all collectively renew the pact to never forget.”

The former double champ was flying in his private plane to attend the MTV Music Awards when he poignantly spoke about the victims of 9/11. In the tweet, he promised to “Never Forget” about the lives lost due to the attack.
