Hakeem and Conor McGregor in SBG MMA Training Ireland before his UFC debut.

'Mean' Hakeem Dawodu meets Conor 'The Notorious' McGregor

Mean Hakeem headed to Ireland this week to start a training camp with John Kavanagh, Conor McGregor's coach, and guess who he met his first day there!? The Notorious man himself.

These kinds of opportunities come with a lot of pressure and expectation.

Champion's Creed has started a Go Fund Me Campaign to relieve some of those pressures

Let Hakeem fight for his future while the rest of us cheer him on. When a UFC fighter is first trying to get off the ground, it's financially difficult, because of the time commitment it takes to train.

The support from fundraisers like this go a long way and allows Hakeem to receive the financial support so that he can focus on getting ready for his UFC debut.

From Ireland with Gratitude

I always wanted to be in the UFC. Now that I have the opportunity to be able to train with such high level athletes, I am going to soak it all up! I am so grateful for everything happening right now and especially to Brian Bird at Champions Creed for setting it all up.
