Welcome to Wrexham star Paul Mullin was "blown away" after Conor McGregor made a generous donation of £10,000 to an autism charity.
McGregor made the donation last month to Your Space, a Wrexham charity for children with autism. The UFC star sent a team to the North Wales city last month to promote his new Nitro Irish stout Forged.
£2,200 was raised from sales of Forged during the trip and this was also donated to the charity, North Wales Live reports. Welcome to Wrexham star Paul Mullin is an ambassador for the charity and said he was "totally blown away by the generosity of Conor McGregor to reach out and make such a significant donation to Your Space Wales".

He added: “A charity that is doing amazing work to support families of children with Autism, a charity that is obviously so close to my family's heart, £10,000 is such a significant amount of money to receive and will go a long way to support those who need it."
Conor McGregor said: “The Wrexham success story is incredible and I can relate to it, that ambition, the hard work and passion to become the very best. I wanted to reward their fans by making them the first to sample my stout on these shores. Their desire for success inspires me and much like Forged Stout they’re not here to take part, they’re here to take over!
"I’m also incredibly proud to support the local Your Space Autism charity through Forged Irish Stout along with Paul Mullin. This is a cause that is very close to me and my team's heart and I’m grateful to Paul for offering me the opportunity to support such a worthy cause and for the work he puts into Your Space. I look forward to visiting Wrexham soon”
