Miami Heat mascot Burnie lands in ER after Conor McGregor punch

Last Updated: October 27, 2025By

Conor McGregor is known for packing a punch. Unfortunately for Burnie, the Miami Heat‘s mascot, the UFC star still has quite a wallop. Burnie and McGregor staged a fight during a break in the action of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, but McGregor went a bit too far and sent the man inside the costume to the emergency room, per multiple reports.

The mascot actor was given pain medication and sent home where he is recovering, according to The Athletic. The fight, which was obviously meant to be a playful promotion given Burnie’s boxing attire when “confronting” McGregor, quickly went viral on social media after the mascot was leveled by the legendary fighter.
