McGregor had tweeted about India.before during country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic he gave his support.
Earlier in July, this a period of 365 days Conor McGregor underwent three hours of surgery, less than 24 hours after suffering a "clean" burst of his left shinbone during a devastating UFC defeat to American brawler Dustin Poirier.
Doctors disclosed that McGregor smashed his left tibia and fibula bones in the opening round of the non-title lightweight bout in Las Vegas.
Poirier overpowered McGregor at T-Mobile arena, winning their trilogy fight by a TKO after the Irishman snapped his left leg in the waning seconds of the opening round.
The fight was officially ruled as a "doctor's stoppage" at the end of the 1st round after a bloodied McGregor swung and missed a punch then stumbled backwards, his lower leg grotesquely buckling under him closeby the edge of the octagon.
Poirier then pounced on McGregor, raining down a series of punches and elbows as the bell sounded to end the round. It was the moment time Poirier had defeated McGregor in six months.
The scheduled five-round rubber match was expected.
