We were treated to another McGregor moment at last night's NBA finals clash between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami heat.
During a rehearsed mid-game skit at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Conor McGregor was approached by the Heat's mascot Burnie, before knocking him down with a punch and striking him a second time while he was on the floor.
McGregor then sprayed Burnie with his new pain relief spray that he had been promoting, while the skit ended with Burnie being dragged off the court.
However, it turned out that the MMA fighter had taken things too far, with The Athletic reporting that the man playing the mascot had to be taken to hospital after.
Thankfully he is ok and has since been released.
The Denver Nuggets would go onto win the game 108-95, to take a 3-1 lead in the final.
