Former UFC Champion Conor McGregor knocked out the wrong opponent recently.
During game 4 between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets, McGregor was supposed to "punch" the Heat's mascot, Burnie.
But instead actually punched the person in the suit.
McGregor followed up with a second punch, and then the mascot was pulled off the court, limp. McGregor "sprayed" the fallen mascot with a pain-relief product on its way off the court.
The person in the mascot suit went to the ER.
People immediately pointed out how bad of an idea this was.
Others took the opportunity to rag on McGregor.
There was more than one person asking how the oncoming lawsuit was shaping up.
McGregor has not fought since July 2021.
His last win was in January 2020.
