MIAMI — A woman has accused Conor McGregor of sexual assault at Game 4 of the NBA Finals, between the Denver Nuggets vs. the Miami Heat, held at the Kaseya Center downtown last Friday, TMZ first reported.
The media outlet says it obtained demand letters from local attorney Ariel Mitchell that were sent to the UFC star, as well as to the NBA and the Heat.
McGregor, one of the highest paid athletes in the world, made headlines that night after he apparently went too far with a promotional skit for a pain relief product, Tidl Sport. In what was supposed to be a joke, the mixed martial artist apparently punched “Burnie,” the Heat mascot (twice) but too hard. The man in the furry costume, who has not been publicly identified, had to be examined briefly at a hospital.
