Conor McGregor recently called upon his Irish supporters to support the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund. Ashling Murphy, an Irish primary teacher, was tragically murdered in January 2022 by Jozef Puska from Mucklagh, Tullamore. The incident brought global attention to violence against women, and the perpetrator was apprehended and sentenced in November after an extensive investigation.
Known for raising awareness about this issue, McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion, took to social media to request his followers to contribute to the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund. ‘The Notorious’ also pledged a donation of €50,000. Fans responded to McGregor’s charitable efforts with much appreciation and support.
The Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund aims to promote and safeguard traditional Irish arts, culture, and heritage among younger generations. Donations will support tuition, facilities, and equipment, fostering an environment that perpetuates Ashling’s cultural impact. The fund also seeks to create cultural activities in her honor and award scholarships for education and music.
In other news, Michael Chandler recently predicted a knockout victory against Conor McGregor in their potential bout. After much anticipation, ‘The Notorious’ announced his highly anticipated comeback to the octagon on New Year’s Eve via social media. McGregor revealed that he is scheduled to take on Chandler during the UFC’s annual International Fight Week on June 29, specifying that their bout will be in the middleweight division.
Chandler shared his preview of the bout on his YouTube channel, stating, “It’s going to be a big card, it’s going to be fun, and I finish Conor within the first two rounds and after that probably end his career. There’s just too much more than what people think about on the surface level. I want battlegrounds of epic proportions, I want to stand in the cage with that man, I want to break that man’s will, I want to break his jaw.”
