Conor McGregor, without a doubt, is the biggest name in the world of mixed martial arts. Recently, he cemented his status as a global superstar by being listed among the top 50 highest-paid athletes of all time. His lifetime earnings are a whopping $615 million and he only falls behind legends like Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson, and a few more notable names. The Irishman’s remarkable achievement is even more impressive when you consider that he is the only MMA fighter to ever make it to the list. However, the Irishman has now gone one step further and has become the wealthiest mixed martial artist to ever exist. Despite his enormous wealth, McGregor is not one to forget his roots or the importance of giving back to the community. The Irishman is a philanthropist at heart and regularly donates to various charities.

Currently, McGregor is doing back-to-back interviews owing to his comeback to the sport. The Irishman is busy coaching for the 31st season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and is making the rounds for interviews. And during one of his recent interviews, ‘The Notorious’ made a rather generous donation via his whiskey company, Proper No. Twelve.

The UFC icon recently appeared on Fox News for an interview with Sean Hannity. During the show, McGregor was joined by Frank Siller, the founder of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The MMA fighter expressed his admiration for the foundation’s work and showed his respect for Frank. To support their vision, McGregor generously donated $1 million through his whiskey company, Proper Number Twelve.

The donation will benefit the non-profit organization’s mission to help first responders and military service members who have been seriously injured or have made the ultimate sacrifice. McGregor’s contribution highlights his commitment to giving back to the community and supporting those in need.

On the professional front, the former double champion is busy coaching a pack of UFC hopefuls for TUF 31. He has Michael Chandler in the opposing team, who will then face the Irishman in the octagon later this year in a pay-per-view even after the conclusion of their coaching session with TUF. Moreover, this will be McGregor’s comeback fight after his devastating leg injury.

Many fans will be curious to see how ‘Mystic Mac’ uses his kicks considering his devastating injury. They know his trash-talking will be on point, but it is his performance inside the octagon that has been a point of doubt for many.
