Conor McGregor donates two UFC 229 tickets to homelessness fundraiser

Jack O'Toole

Former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight champion Conor McGregor has donated two UFC 229 tickets to the Inner City Helping Homeless charity ahead of his upcoming fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov next month.

McGregor will make his long awaited return to the Octagon when he takes on the undefeated Russian in Las Vegas on October 6th and fans wishing to attend the event can acquire tickets, and help out a great cause in the process, by bidding for tickets.

The auction will run until 9pm on Sunday night where the winner will be contacted by Inner City Helping Homeless to let them know that they have secured the tickets.

ICHH offer a 7 day advocacy service assisting homeless individuals and families and educating them on how to navigate through homelessness.

As the number of homeless families and children has increased over 200% since 2015 the demand from families needing assistance in getting out of homelessness has increased. Over 3,000 children are now homeless in Ireland and ICHH have stepped in on numerous occasions and accommodated families that were left with nowhere to go.
