Conor McGregor earns huge gratitude from man who lost his leg to sarcoma cancer 

Conor McGregor was recently appreciated for his charitable actions towards Richie McPeak, a sarcoma cancer amputee who lost his leg. The Irishman was showered with gratitude for sending the brave survivor McGregor FAST gear, personalized gifts, and signed gloves.

In an emotional monologue, McPeak stated that his aggressive sarcoma cancer has returned after a period of remission and described how watching 'The Notorious' knock out Chad Mendes live at UFC 189 inspired him to keep fighting without giving up. Sarcoma is an aggressive cancerous tumor affecting soft tissues and bones.

The survivor took to Twitter to outline how McGregor and his team have helped him fight his battle and expressed his gratitude for it. He wrote:

"A team of brothers with hearts of lions and room for kindness sent me McGregor fast gear to help battle sarcoma cancer. Signed gloves from the Champ Champ, exclusive jump rope... Conor McGregor, McGregor Fast gear and the entire McGregor team thank you..."

The former two-division champion responded to the tweet with an endearing message. McGregor quote-tweeted McPeak and wrote:

"Richie McPeak! Work ethic and mindset, legendary."

Conor McGregor is set to return to action this year. He will coach the next season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) opposite Michael Chandler before the two men face off in the octagon as per tradition.

Conor McGregor next fight: Former rival predicts a knockout win for the Irishman against Michael Chandler

If anyone could predict the outcome of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, it would be Eddie Alvarez. The former UFC lightweight champion has shared history with both men, losing his title to the Irishman at UFC 205 in 2016 and facing 'Iron' twice in Bellator for the lightweight belt.

McGregor and Chandler have been roped in to play the role of coaches on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), following which they will go head-to-head in the octagon later this year. McGregor has been sidelined for over a year due to a leg fracture sustained against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, and the hype of his return has dominated social media interactions among the MMA community.

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Alvarez outlined why he predicted another KO victory for Conor McGregor:

"If I had to guess, Mike Chandler doesn’t wrestle. If he stands with Conor, Conor’s going to knock him out. It’s a mismatch... He throws bombs, but Conor’s way too fast, way too quick to get hit with anything Mike Chandler is throwing."
