Conor McGregor knocks out Miami Heat mascot in bizarre NBA finals promotion

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor knocked out the Miami Heat mascot in a mid-game bit that went wrong.

Burnie – more specifically, the man who occupies Burnie’s costume – briefly sought medical attention Friday night after taking two punches from McGregor during a third-quarter stoppage of Game 4 of the NBA finals between the Heat and the Denver Nuggets.

The Heat said Saturday that the employee, who was not identified, received pain medication and was resting at home.
