Pics: How the UFC and Conor McGregor treated a young Irish cancer sufferer like a king in Boston

Fair play to everyone who made this happen.

UFC Fight Night in Boston was a special occasion for Conor McGregor, Cathal Pendred and Paddy Holohan who all won their respective fights. It's was also a night to remember for a young man from Dublin called Jay Mooney. Jay is an incredible character, he was named Ireland's Young Carer of the Year in 2014 as recognition for the care he's provided his mother since his was very young.

Jay's mom Sabrina had Meningitis at 19 and suffered a stroke, she was then diagnosed with Epilepsy shortly after Jamie was born. Jay looked after her through her seizures, as well as helping Sabrina with his younger sister Lexie while his dad was at work. Things took a turn last July when Jay was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The 17-year-old had been undergoing intense Chemotherapy up until Christmas to fight the cancer. Jay's dad wanted to do something special for his amazing son, and he pulled out all the stops by organising a trip for Jay to UFC Fight Night in Boston. Here's how Jay got on.
