Former UFC champion Conor McGregor accidentally knocked out the Miami Heat mascot, Burnie, during a mid-game skit during the NBA Finals. Burnie, who is the man who occupies Burnie’s costume, was sent to the emergency room of a local hospital after being hit by McGregor. McGregor tried to “spray” the mascot with a pain-relief product, but several members of the Heat’s in-game promotional team dragged Burnie off the court. McGregor then sprayed Burnie from a black bottle as the mascot was dragged off the court, with the stunt promoting a pain relief spray.
During a pre-planned skit at Miami’s Kaseya Center, McGregor coldcocked Burnie with a hard left hook and sent him sprawling. 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. Dana White, who was not surprised that McGregor hurt the Miami Heat’s mascot, asked for his reaction to McGregor’s latest attention-grabbing stunt.
Reports emerged that McGregor’s punch had landed Burnie in the emergency room on Saturday, when Sam Amick of The Athletic wrote that the man who sprayed the mascot with his pain-relief spray as it was dragged off the court. Mascots being punched by professional fighters are known for their impact on the environment and the health of the animals they represent.

When Sports Entertainment Gets a Little Too Real! TorkLaw Attorney, Ali Hosseini, discusses the shocking incident that took place …
Someone who is that trained knows exactly the type of punch he’s going to deliver. First hit was intentional, followed up to hit someone on a wooden floor to make sure he knocked him out, then proceeded to mock an unconscious man in front of a stadium/arena. Miami Heat should go after McGregor for this one as I have a hard time believing actual physical harm was part of the skit.
Why would you ever think its okay to punch someone in the head when they are on the floor? Considering he is a fighter/boxer, he knows the dangers when there is a flat surface behind the head to amplify the impact. What a POS. I hope he gets sued or at least compensates the mascot for this honest abuse.
😂 the reaction of the hands to the face on the second punch was real reaction to pain lol. Poor Conor… we don’t know the construction of the suit, the nose could have a cooling unit built in or something, because the head flexed not the nose. So the nose is solid, it likely flexed in and whatever that solid device is smashed into the man’s face. It ain’t Conor’s fault.
Connor is definitely the king of douchebags. But in this instance I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt that his intentions weren’t to hurt the guy that he thought that to make it look real he had to put some extra thump into his punch since the guy had a mascot costume that he probably thought had a lot of padding to it. But shout out to the mascot because he is for surely about to get paid when he sues Connor and the stadium
McGregor sounds awful! Dude’s life is completely downhill. His career is finished. He has no sobriety at all. He can’t even say a complete sentence. He’s also gonna have to take TRT for the rest of his life from his steroid abuse. He’ll likely die in 10-20 years or sooner from his steroid abuse. LIFE LESSON TO CONOR: Don’t fight/hurt innocent people, because it looks like Karma already hunted you down, found you, and then even things out! Permanently! Scary stuff.
Daaaanggggg Crazy to see how people believe almost everything they hear and see on the internet without questioning. 1st punch was the top of the mascots head. Right under the rooster comb (“hat/hair”) Idk if anyone knows human anatomy but the mascots head isnt completely filled by the persons head underneath it… unless this guy had a deformity and the tallest head in the world. 2nd punch was directly on the padding of the face, and from the looks of it, connor didnt throw his hand into the ground, he pulled his shot at the base of the padding, plus how do we know the guy wasnt wearing a kickboxing helmet underneath? Or a mouth guard? Or anything for protection for that matter… They were definitely real punches, but i question there was real damage… Who verified it? The hospital visit? The results of the visit? Dude just went limp after grabbing at his face. Hmmmmm Idk but this all in all seems like a fabricated moment to be sensationalized/memed and very much so talked about
Did he get arrested for this?..did the mascot wined him up or something say something to him before this moment…isn’t this an assault? Or is American such a land of the free that it’s okay so long as your the hardest? Fantastic stuff spark him out Conner..he will have to buy your magic pain spray now to spray all over his punched in face …violence.. it’s so entertaining…feel the power feel the pain..eye if the bird …you know your team’s going down when your mascot is getting the shit kicked out of him by an MMA fighter..ruthless!👍
Deserves it. The only Heat game I went to, and I do not know if its the same guy, he was profiling women on the aisles looking to snatch their purses. He did so to one woman. Poor woman, she got up and was chasing the guy all over until she gave it up. Meanwhile, the guy had the balls to be looking inside the purse in front of everyone., until he finally returned it. Again, he came back with a vengeance. A beautiful night in Miami outside, and inside a beautiful Air Conditioned arena, when all he sudden, people started getting sprayed with water and not from a leaky arena roof. It was this jerk with a water gun shooting at the fans in their seats. I have been on the floor laughing at this bastard getting punched multiple times. He got it coming. Karma is a bitch. Do not feel sorry people.🤡
Conor McGregor tried warning the guy not to step in view of the camera person recording on the side by waving toward him to not continue forward but unfortunately Connor couldn’t prevent him. After stepping into view Mc Gregor tried to play it off for a split second then decided to simply knock that ass out as a result which is bogus and very unprofessional indeed and will cause him millions upon millions but, it happened. Connor felt like that Maskot wanted camera time and it irked his nerves. That is why after striking him a second time he danced around him while pointing what he was promoting at him. Ish is still oddly hilarious though lol.
The second punch he definitely pulled back. The first of course wasn’t 100 smash smash smash but it had some Jolt. Never the less who knows where the dude is inside the costume regardless. Dumb skits get dumb rewards. He signed up for it. Let men be men. If an adult said let’s dance. Then let em dance.
looks like total BS to me just more promoting and clout chasing. But all his behaviour is a perfect example of how money corrupts a person totally! I mean this guy was from crumlin Dublin, he needs to remember where he came from. With all the yayo he’s been putting up his nose, his feet have left the ground and in more ways than one!
The problem is ……..when you have money jealousy takes over,he didn’t connect a punch and trust me the guy in the mascot suit thought hmmmmmmm!!!! I’ll pretend so I can get some cash, the man in the suit knew it was a promotion and entered it with a contract!!! What an insult to all the men that support this team that there mascot can’t take a fake punch lol!!!! Where the fuck are the real men at????
That ko punch was ok, i’ll let it slide. But the one after the mascott was down, Connor tryna hurt the guy. Not cool, he gotta know his class he got hundreds of mils in his account, the mascot dude probably got paid a hundred bucks to wear the custome and act like a clown. He ain’t some thug in ireland anymore, he’s a real person with millions on millions of dudes looking up to him.
Do people really believe he really knocked out that mascot ? 😂😂😂 .. this is called entertainment.. I do not like Connor but this wasn’t real real .. I mean the first punch landed on the hat of the mascot it did not landed on the mascot face it was like wwe or in the movies went down on he’s own than the second punch was the one that landed in the face but that wasn’t with full force but since he’s a fighter that’s why the mascot landed in the hospital lol .. I guess he turned on after he’s first punch lol .. poor guy didn’t win a fight since long time let him win one or two don’t judge Connor the leprechaun he needs to win fights because he can’t win anymore against real fighter in the cage so let him knock out woman old man mascots even little kids or toddlers whose fans of Khabib or Dustin ..
I thought it was not staged because he punches passed the mask. He indented the mask as he punched the mascot… So if he punched past the mask… If you watch the article… The guy must not have had a head if he did not get hit… Cause Connor compressed the mask quite a bit when he punched the mascot. If it was a staged bit why did he not just punch the mask? Why did Connor punch past the mask? Like you punch past someones head when you try to knock them out?
There was once a rich man who owned hundreds of sheep and a shepherd who owned just one lamb. One day, the rich man had guests over for dinner and instead of killing one of his own sheep to feed the guests, he stole the poor mans only lamb killed it and fed his guests. In this situation… Conor McGregor is the rich man, he did that intentionally and hurt this man thinking he can win over the crowd at the expense of the mascot making a modest wage, nothing is sadder than that.
To be fair a strong punch doesnt knock someone out a well placed one does. And you cant really see his face mcgregors training alongside being unable to intentionally miss makes a bad combination. And i get that he is unhinged but he had no reason to knock him out and every reason not to (his product his team the fans) at the end of the day hes an entertainer so why would he intentionally piss everyone off
