A young Irish lad in need of serious medical treatment has been given an enormous help in hand by Conor McGregor who has donated €10,000 in order to raise funds for medical bills.

The UFC superstar is facing the fight of his life at UFC 229, just like Bru McCullough. Though the five-year-old's battle is a lot, lot harder.

Last September, Bru was left on life support and required dialysis and blood transfusions.

He spent 11 weeks in hospital before eventually returning home. However, he can't walk and is fed through a nasal tube.

His mother, Grainne McCullough, set up a 'Go Fund Me' page to raise money for medical treatment.

"Hi everyone, this is my last idea for my son as iv spent the last year trying to get him proper medical care from the hse, he has a NG tube in his nose since last September and I keep being fobbed off with excuses for delay in putting in a peg,he has seen no dietician, we are desperate at this stage , we are looking for money for my son Bryan to get private care and the help he deserves....he had sepsis last year and is now unable to walk or eat I feel so bad for him xxxxx"

Amidst getting prepared for returning to the famed Octagon versus Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor has made a charitable gesture.

He anonymously donated €10,000 but the person behind the donation was revealed through the boy's mother.

"We are forever grateful. I will never forget what u have done for my boy u truly are a legend," she wrote on Twitter accompanied with an image of McGregor's contribution.

A wonderful act of generosity from McGregor who's just over a week away from challenging for UFC gold.

He takes on Khabib Nurmagomedov in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 6th.
