Dublin homelessness charity, Inner City Helping Homeless, has revealed that the winning bid for tickets to Conor McGregor's UFC fight was a fake.
McGregor donated two tickets to the UFC event in Las Vegas to Inner City Helping Homeless to auction off on Facebook.
A winning bid of €1700 was accepted, but it was confirmed by the charity's CEO Anthony Flynn last night that the Facebook account was a fake.
So the person who made bid on the @TheNotoriousMMA ticket donation turned out to be a fake page. Terrible action and so much time wasted to raise money for an organization that’s non funded doing so much on the ground !! @bmcdublin will be evaluating and issue statement shortly. pic.twitter.com/1xw5syQzXH

In his tweet, Mr Flynn said: "Terrible action and so much time wasted to raise money for an organization that’s non-funded doing so much on the ground."
ICHH have now reached out to the second highest bidder.
