The UFC fighter is a cousin of Bohemians captain Keith Buckley who will miss Sunday's FAI Cup final after a serious knee injury
Conor McGregor is helping Keith Buckley come to terms with the crippling knee injury that rules him out of Sunday’s FAI Cup final.
He tore his cruciate ligament in the October 20 league defeat to the Saints but revealed yesterday that he also tore his MCL clean off the bone. Buckley said: “My cousin did it in a fight a couple of years ago. I’ve only been re-watching his documentary. I do look at him sometimes to get a bit of motivation.“I don’t know if it’s in the family but I saw the ball and then tried to hop up as well. But I knew, ‘Ah yeah, there’s something here.’
Among them has been the St Pat’s defender Tom Grivosti, who ruptured his own ACL earlier in the season and also plays no part in this cup final.
