Conor McGregor Says Heat Mascot's Doing 'Good', We Talked After Punch

The Miami Heat may have lost the NBA Finals, but there’s at least some good news for the organization — Conor McGregor says Burnie the mascot is A-OK after getting his bell rung at the hands of the UFC superstar!

“The mascot is good. It was a skit, and all is well,” the 34-year-old former champ-champ said Tuesday in NYC.

“I spent a lot of time with him afterward, we talked it out, everything is great. It was all part of the show!”

Remember, McGregor participated in what was supposed to be a fun, friendly routine with Burnie during game 4 of the Finals in Miami on Friday, when things took a turn for the worse for the furry creature.

Conor was promoting his Tidl Sport recovery spray … when Burnie — wearing oversized boxing gloves — squared up with McGregor.

That was all The Notorious needed to see … and he smashed Burnie with one of his patented vicious left hooks. The mascot went down to the ground, before McGregor hit him with a brutal ground-and-pound strike to the head.

Unfortunately, Conor hits hard, as the guy in the Burnie costume found out, resulting in a reported trip to the hospital.

But, by Conor’s account, he escaped serious injury and is okay.

See ya next year, Burnie … and stay away from Conor, just in case.
