Conor McGregor sent a St Patrick's Day message to his millions of followers on Tuesday night.
The Notorious took to Instagram to say that better times will return as the world battles coronavirus.
Sharing a picture of himself waving an Irish tricolour, McGregor posted: "Happy Paddy’s day everyone. Cheers to better times. They will return!"
The former two-weight UFC champion also stressed the importance of people playing their part in the battle against the killer virus.
He told Maxim: "Hand hygiene is key. The good habits we will have gained from this wild COVID-19 attack will see us too strong in the future.
"Everyone should stay vigilant, isolated, and safe with their families at home.
"People should not think for a second that it won't effect them and put their guard down.
"We are all in this together around the world and will beat this."
It comes after McGregor's Straight Blast Gym in Naas was closed following the virus outbreak.
The UFC star opened up the facility with his SBG teammate Peter Queally, but the pair have decided to shut up shop to combat the virus.
Queally announced the closure on Instagram, writing: "Dear SBG Naas members, we have made the decision that the right thing to do at this time is to pause all memberships.
"Your payments are now frozen and your payment cycle won’t resume until we reopen.
"We will keep you updated on when classes can resume.
"For now, just stay safe and positive, everyone is under a lot of pressure at the moment.
"We are in the process of organising some free open air group training sessions for members, that stay in line with social distancing policies.
"Once we have these in place, we will announce times and location etc.
"If we all help each other we will get out the other side of this absolutely fine!"
