Conor McGregor Lands Real Punch, Sends Miami Heat Mascot to ER During Staged NBA Finals Skit

Conor McGregor punched Miami Heat mascot Burnie and knocked him down during a staged fight at halftime of Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The punch was hard enough to send the man portraying Burnie to the emergency room, where he received pain medication.
McGregor was promoting his new pain relief spray, TIDL Sport, when Burnie confronted him wearing boxing gloves, leading to the incident.
The Miami Heat lost the game to the Denver Nuggets 108-95, falling behind 3-1 in the series.
McGregor has not fought in the UFC since breaking his leg in July 2021 but is scheduled to face Michael Chandler later this year.
