Conor McGregor Addresses Ireland In The Wake Of Nationwide Shutdown

Conor McGregor has taken to social media, to give an impassioned speech about preventing the spread of the coronavirus in Ireland.

“I would like to say while we are all currently debating a full lockdown, I feel that we must. Any time debating this is needless time from the clock. I know a good, tough fight when I see one and we have one on our hands now. I want to call upon my people, the great people of Ireland, this fight needs us all. We’re all in the red corner together awaiting the bell. So let’s gather together and ring the bell ourselves, including the people of the rest of the world. True lockdown must begin and must begin now.

“Ireland, we have got this. Not only do we have the formula, we have it ahead of time. Let’s go Ireland. Let’s go rest of the world. A lockdown united. Together we stand. God bless us all.”

McGregor’s SBG teammate Artem Lobov, has also aired his concerns about the coronavirus.

And the SBG Ireland pair aren’t the only fighters to have taken to social media to address their fans during this testing time. Heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury also had a message for his fans.

The UFC has cancelled three of its events as a result of the coronavirus, as the world has been going on lockdown.
