Conor McGregor has insisted he and the Miami Heat mascot he sent to hospital last week were simply performing a stunt and that all is well.
The Irishman was in Miami on holiday when he was spotted courtside at the NBA finals, even getting himself on the court during a break in play. And he even found himself in a fun segment where he 'knocked out' the mascot Burnie and threw an extra shot on the ground to finish him off after a playful ;fight.
However, all was not necessarily well, with sources in the league telling The Athletic the man inside the costume caught the punch a little too well, and was really hurt by the incident. Reports claimed he was sent to hospital and given pain medication by doctors before being sent home.
