Conor McGregor knocks out Miami Heat mascot at NBA match

Conor McGregor was booed off the court after dealing a knockout punch to the Miami Heat mascot at the NBA finals.

The Crumlin native attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals sitting courtside as the Miami Heat took on the Denver Nuggets on their home floor. Donning a red velvet outfit, Conor McGregor made his way to the halfcourt circle during a break in play to introduce Burnie the mascot to his trademark left hand, once dubbed "the most dangerous shot in MMA".

After the knockout shot, which brutally doubled over the mascot and dropped him to the hardwood, McGregor placed a final blow on the downed mascot. But the crowd turned hostile when the gobby MMA fighter inflicted another blow on 7ft 6in mascot Burnie as he lay on the hardwood floor.
