It has been a memorable week for Conor McGregor. Last week he was named by Forbes to be the Highest Paid Athlete in the world raking in $180 million over the last year. This week he welcomed a new member into his family, Rian McGregor. We send our congratulations to “The Notorious” and to his fiance Dee Devlin.
Diego Lima, who is the coach of newly crowned lightweight champion Charles Oliveira shared this video of the 115-pound king on a joyous return to Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil with the title. Oliveira grew up in the Favelas and seeing him crowned the new lightweight champion can be considered a massive success story. Congrats to the new champ.
UFC strawweight Loma Lookboonmee has made a habit of giving back to her community after she fights. The Thai fighter has kept up that trend after her latest outing.
A couple of weeks back we shared a “Go Fund Me” that our friend Kevin Docherty set up to help out some underprivileged kids in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The 1000 euro goal was surpassed and the funds were used to install a tarp that the community can used to train on. This provided a massive lift to the area with everyone coming out to celebrate. Check out the video below and massive credit has to go for Kevin for the work he has done here.
