Conor McGregor's left hook sends Miami Heat mascot to medical room

Conor McGregor made headlines once again, but this time it wasn't inside the octagon. The charismatic Irishman made an appearance at Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

Little did anyone know that McGregor's presence would result in an unexpected trip to the emergency room for the Miami Heat mascot.

As part of the entertainment for the fans, McGregor was called onto the court to showcase his skills as a representative of MMA. The crowd eagerly anticipated McGregor's trademark left hook, and he didn't disappoint.

Dressed in a flashy red velvet tracksuit, McGregor unleashed a powerful left hook that found its target square on the head of the mascot.

The impact of McGregor's punch was more significant than anyone had anticipated. Despite the act being scripted, the force behind McGregor's blow caught the mascot off guard, causing him to collapse onto the floor.

Thankfully, the individual inside the mascot suit had taken precautions by wearing protective headgear beneath the mascot's exterior.

Nevertheless, due to the unexpected force of the punch, the person behind the mascot still required medical attention, necessitating a visit to the emergency room.
