Conor McGregor knocked out mascot at the Game 4 of the NBA finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat inside the Kaseya Center. McGregor was actually there to promote his cryotherapy pain relief spray, TIDL. 

McGregor being the mega superstar he is got invited to the middle of the court to interact with the fans. However, things got a little unexpected when the former UFC double champion squared off with Miami Heat’s mascot, Burnie. The mascot with giant golden gloves interrupted McGregor during his presentation and the Irishman dropped him with his iconic left hook.

McGregor followed it with another hammer fist and finally sprayed Burnie with his pain relief spray. The mascot was flatlined and then was carried away with other officials out of the court.  What looked like a pre-planned skit, was loved by the fans and viewers. Seems like McGregor is keeping himself in shape for his expected MMA return against Michael Chandler this year. Moreover, Miami Heat also lost the match against Denver Nuggets.

The incident took place in 2017 ahead of Conor McGregor’s boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather. In one of his Instagram posts, McGregor was seen wearing a vintage Golden State Warriors jersey and it prompted Draymond Green to make a comment. 

“We rocking with Floyd bro not you… take that off bruh @thenotoriousmma,” Green commented on McGregor’s post. McGregor responded to Green quickly as well. The Irishman made sure to criticize Green in addition to stating that it was CJ Watson’s jersey.

“That’s C.J Watson mate,” McGregor wrote. “I don’t know who the f*** you are. No disrespect tho kid, keep hustling and stay in school. Now ask yourself why I’m rocking C.J when I don’t know or give a f*** about basketball. I dribble heads off the floor. Not a ball. This is no game here kid.” McGregor’s response was spot on and loved the little between both athletes. Since then it’s very easy to spot McGregor in basketball and football Jerseys in public.
