MMA legend Conor McGregor knocked out the Miami Heat mascot during the NBA Finals with a huge left hook.
The Irishman was present at Game 4 of the NBA Finals as he sat courtside to watch Miami Heat take on Denver Nuggets.
During a break in play, McGregor was seen on the court and as the Miami Heat mascot approached him, he unleashed a huge left hook, sending the mascot tumbling to the floor. You can watch the footage below.
However, McGregor did not stop there as he landed another blow on the floored mascot.
Fans were quick to react to McGregor’s antics on social media.

Whilst a fifth commented: “This Mascot’s Whole Career Just Flashed In His Eyes.”
The left hook from McGregor was almost the same shot that propelled him into stardom after he knocked out Jose Aldo after just 13 seconds.
McGregor then took the opportunity to promote his new plant-based recovery spray, ‘Tidl’.
The 34-year-old sprayed the mascot in the face whilst he was being dragged away.

McGregor’s ‘Tidl’ spray is part of his ‘McGregor FAST’ training program which includes a mobile app.
The app enables users to keep up to date with their fitness goals.
After his success inside the octagon, McGregor’s business ventures have launched him to the crown of being the richest and most successful fighter in the history of UFC.

Apart from the 'McGregor Fast' fitness program, the Irishman also owns his own whiskey brand as well as a clothing line.
However, it has been a while since McGregor tasted victory in UFC as he lost his last two fights against Dustin Poirier.
