2020 has been a disastrous year for many gyms across the world forced to grapple with the enforced closures brought about by the ongoing impact of COVID-19.

One such gym feeling the pinch was one of SBG’s satellite gyms in Ireland: SBG Portarlington, known to some as SBG Port. The facility, led by longtime SBG fighter Philip ‘The Honeybadger’ Mulpeter, announced over the weekend that they had been forced to permanently shut their doors due to the massive financial impact of the coronavirus.

However, that was soon to change after Conor McGregor — a frequent training partner of Mulpeter’s over the years — stepped in to ensure that the gym would stay open. As was revealed by GAMA (Gaelic Athletic Martial Arts) on Instagram, McGregor’s eleventh-hour intervention has not only saved the gym, but added further foundation to the growth of mixed martial arts in Ireland.
