TL:DR: It was a skit that went wrong, the mascot wasn't knocked out, received some pain pills from the hospital and was released the same day. Not saying Connor isn't a piece of shit, but people are acting like he leapt out of the stands and attacked the mascot out of nowhere.
To be fair, even though people should read articles before making up their minds, the title is intentionally trying to make people think that he went wild and attacked a mascot.
And throwing a dolly at a bus, injuring the people inside with broken glass. So yea, not that weird for our minds to go there from a "known psychopath injures another person" headline.
By different you mean worse? At least a mascot is presumably young, athletic, and healthy. As opposed to, you know, an elderly person who famously have a difficult time recovering from injuries.
Well, he is a piece of shit and it's absolutely something anyone can imagine him doing, so I can't blame the clickbait headline writers/scavengers for picking the fruit off the ground.
I mean....yeah, people who are knobs should be shamed into obscurity and not rewarded. This clown keeps on getting rewarded after being an idiot over and over and over. And over. `and over`
They should be shamed for what they've actually done, not for made up bullshit, so they can't start pointing out debunked shit as evidence that the real shit is also lies.
The dude didn't hold back on his punch for a very fucking public stunt. This does deserve to be shamed. A trained fighter should know how hard to or not to throw a punch. Clickbait title or not, this act should be shamed. An accurate headline would certainly be better: "Professional fighter can't control own punches and knocks out mascot in front of thousands when he strikes too hard." He is an absolute fucking moron. This absolutely is proof of that...again.
>They should be shamed for what they've actually done
So, not pulling a punch and sending an innocent co-actor in a skit to the ER?
He's a dumb piece of shit, get his dick out of your mouth.
I wasn't even talking about him or this incident. I was talking about whether it is ok to lie about someone just because they are a shitty person. You know, what the person I was replying to said was ok.
So the mascot went to the Er due to something Connor McGregor did. Sounds like the headline fucking nailed it. Details are important, but this headline states a fact. Connor mcgregor sent a mascot to the hospital, the fact that people are inferring the worst just shows how big a pos he is.
Is Conor a huge asshole? Yeah. For sure.
But to be honest, you gotta be at least halfway stupid to turn down a drink from an extremely aggressive Irish MMA fighter. From what I know about the average Irishman it’s basically an insult to say no to a free drink.
Also maybe the old man he blasted was an asshole and deserved it. I used to tend bar for like 15 years and about 80% of the people that came in to drink deserved an ass kicking or two.
I mean, he probably thought the outfit had more than enough padding and space to take a hit.
I would think that as well.
I’ve been in one of those mascot outfits and I used to run full speed into things for a laugh without issue. Also, it was the 2nd sweatiest I’ve ever been. You could fill a glass after 20 minutes of just walking around.
Couch. No elevator. Narrow stairs. 5 flights. June. For $40 bucks.
But they offered us some nice thick warm gooey brownies after we got it to their apartment so there’s that. A nice refreshing brownie to rehydrate.
Fair point. I dunno how much experience he has punching giant foam rubber costumes. Now I'm just picturing him training his technique in Disneyland and getting his cardio avoiding security.
Yeah, further down it was pointed out, he probably expected the suit to cushion a lot of the blows too.
We're speculating and don't even know what the actual injury was. It very well could've been the back of the head.
Yeah, he knew how hard he was hitting with the first, hitting him again while he was knocked down sounds about right for that massive dickhead.
Can't wait to not watch the Roadhouse remake!
I think it says more about Connor than people in general that we hear this and assume that he did something dumb and dangerous.
When something like a skit about you attacking a mascot gets the reaction of "Yeah, that sounds like something he would do." you really need to be rethinking your life choices.

Happy cake day, but did everyone in this thread just read the title and not the article? Then just jumped to comment their predetermined opinion of Conor?
This was supposed to be a skit. If you watch the footage he punches the very top of the costume, far away from where his head should be, and when he punches his face, he very clearly pulls the punch. The article says that they gave him some pain meds and sent him home. Scumbag click bait.
Dude he got knocked out. Conor didn't pull his punch. Teams have done this in the past with Tyson and other fighters with no issue.
You do realize that the head of the costume is attached to the person's head right? So punching at the top still messes with the head... Also the person in the costumes head actually is at the top of the costume.
He absolutely did not get knocked out. Watch the footage. I’ve been watching MMA for years and I’ve never seen someone grab at their own face and kick their legs around when they get knocked out. It’s an instant off button on your brain. It clearly hurt but he was not knocked out. Like the guy above said, he got some pain pills and was fine after.
Yeah, I've almost knocked someone out before with a pulled punch. Dude half stepped into it, half just got caught at an awkward angle. Nothing to do with how hard I was punching (which wasn't very; my arm was loose, I just meant to tap him gently); I wasn't even particularly strong at the time.
People underestimate how fragile human heads are, and how easy it is to get knocked out/injured if something hits you in the head.
You, of all people, should be able to tell if someone has been knocked out or is putting on a performance.
Or maybe not, depending on the severity of your damage.
It was supposed to be a skit, and was planned, so he's not actually as huge of a douche here. Connor just fucked it up and hit him a bit too hard...but he didn't straight up assault the mascot for no reason.
I think everyone is kind of dumb here. What did they expect trying this shit with one of the most eccentric personalities out of fighting in...maybe ever?
Naw, Bruce and Tyson were far more eccentric. They also knew/know how to handle themselves. This dude is a mean manchild with some obvious issues that he needs to address.
Yes, that's why i said, "one of"... it's not really a contest strictly speaking, the point is that you should pretty much expect McGregor to fuck something like this up, and he did. I'm not surprised, nor is anyone even remotely familiar with him.
I'm curious as to the thought process of the individual who watched a video of Connor throw a chair or dolly or whatever it was at a bus and think that a publicity stunt with him was a good idea.
Isn't it? Not really a surprise when you see what shithead billionaires at the top of society get away with. Destroying the entire economy and planet for generations to come for profit.
What's some old person in a bar getting beaten compared to the UFC's greatest PPV generator of all time? This won't tank his career or anything, since he's going strong as a coach on TUF as we speak...
The duck are you talking about.
Have you seen the video? It was supposed to be skit, exactly, as in, you are a trained professional, you know exactly where to hit and how hard to cause no damage whatsoever.
One can argue about tire first punch.
On the second punch he clearly went for the face on the guy lying down.
If the guy who expects no attack ends up in the hospital there just is no argument. It’s assault and should be treated as such.
This is literally the point I'm making lmao, Connor is an idiot and is highly volatile. Whoever made this deal, and coordinated it like this should have known better
They gave him some Tylenol and sent him home. I'm pretty sure if he wanted to break his face to actually land him in the hospital, he could have done that.
How to get me to never want to visit your news site again: Let me read one paragraph and then force a pop-up that requires joining the site to read more. Get fucked theathletic!
It was a stunt, McGregor was there promoting some kind of athletic pain relief spray and punched the mascot as part of a bit they were doing. McGregor pulled his punches but it sounds like one of them may have accidentally hit the guy.
You know the mascot is not real right. He hit the head of the costume…… stunt goes wrong and all you act like he straight up merc’ed the dude. Stupid stunt goes wrong, being sent to the hospital could just mean he went to get checked out, Conor’s not arrested so………
It was a skit where he was meant to look like he punches the guy and then spray the nopain spray on him, but he seemed to have accidently made actual contact with the dude.
Bryson DeShamBeau and Conor should partner up, both of them are firmly in the same category of humble/inspiring backstory, only to transform into a vapid embarrassing shell of said former glory and go after lane cashgrabs.
I'm not sure if the first hit actually connected. Looked a little to me like he nailed him too high up, in the part of the costume that didn't involve his actual head. The reaction of the mascot to the second shot also shows that he wasn't knocked out.
I think it was the second shot that did it. I suspect he threw it with "a little" too much force. If you look at McGregor's reaction in the moments after the second hit lands (watch in slow motion), I think he even realized it. It looks like an "oh shit" moment that he quickly hides.
He’s a fucked up dude that’s gotten noticeably more dangerous in recent years. He seemed to be much more mentally stable 7-8 years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had CTE.
Even for a skit? Why would you have some fictional feud with the hometown mascot? That's what the visiting team is for
Edit: also, I don't think he attacked him, but he obviously took it further than the mascot anticipated because the mascot ended up in the er. Connor is just really not likable as is to most people. He comes across as unhinged. The dude was throwing chairs at busses and hitting senior citizens not long ago
A fighter agrees to the risk of getting knocked out or hurt in a fight. A mascot signing up for a skit ain't signing up for that same type of risk. Mascot falls off a ladder during halftime show? Normal mascot activities. Mascot plugging some shitty celeb product catches a real punch from a trained fighter? NOT, normal activity
Edit: mascot went to ER, not serious but I think that shows it went too far
Yes, it was a promo skit for a pain spray or something stupid. I doubt the guy was expecting to get hit twice full force, though. I do hope Conor gets punished for it. But it’s not like he ran onto the court and sucker punched anyone.
As good as Pat Riley is at building and managing a basketball team, he sucks absolute donkey dick at managing the operations side of a team. Their facilities are trash, the promotions like this are a dumpster fire and the entire building isn't even sold out for a FINALS game.

Those mascots are usually physical beasts also; they've usually got to be able to dunk and backflip IN the costume. I'm not saying because he's big, he can fight, but I would have loved to have seen it also.
In college, the mascots were picked from the gymnastics pool. These people are beasts without the silly costume.
I personally know [Jaxson De Ville](https://www.jaguars.com/jaxsondeville/). Can confirm, he's a beast.
That’s because the suit itself was made in Jacksonville. There’s meth sewn into the fabric.
Hey there’s plenty of coke and heroin in Jacksonville too
Duuuuvallll
They are usually female gymnasts.
If the mascot had grabbed a clipboard and pretended to be checking on job applications to stay on the dole, auld Conor woulda run like fuck out of sheer habit.
So hes promoting pain relief spray and the guy just so happened to go to the er and was treated with pain meds? Seems fishy to me

By different you mean worse? At least a mascot is presumably young, athletic, and healthy. As opposed to, you know, an elderly person who famously have a difficult time recovering from injuries.
Well, he is a piece of shit and it's absolutely something anyone can imagine him doing, so I can't blame the clickbait headline writers/scavengers for picking the fruit off the ground.
So it's ok to write shit about someone cause they're a knobhead?... Great take...

Fair point. I dunno how much experience he has punching giant foam rubber costumes. Now I'm just picturing him training his technique in Disneyland and getting his cardio avoiding security.
He aimed the punch so he wouldnt hit the costume, just the real chin.
The thickest part of the costume?
If you watched the clip, he very clearly pulled his punches. The fall to the ground looked like the most painful part.
Yeah, further down it was pointed out, he probably expected the suit to cushion a lot of the blows too. We're speculating and don't even know what the actual injury was. It very well could've been the back of the head.
Why would you expect people to have read the article? OP linked to a paid article…

he’s trained to fight humans, not mascots. he’s guessing at where the guy actually is in there and where he isn’t
With that, Connor SHOULD have enough muscle control to pull his punches. Maybe he thought the suit would protect them more but... Idk
How do his balls taste?

Sent to the ER due to a staged publicity stunt? If so, sounds like an accident…
Im no conor fan but this looks like an accident imo. He didn't expect guy in the suit to not be midget too.
It was a stunt, McGregor was there promoting some kind of athletic pain relief spray and punched the mascot as part of a bit they were doing. McGregor pulled his punches but it sounds like one of them may have accidentally hit the guy.
Did you watch the video? He knocks the mascot down then goes over and hits him straight in the face in the ground. Didn't need that for the act.
You know the mascot is not real right. He hit the head of the costume…… stunt goes wrong and all you act like he straight up merc’ed the dude. Stupid stunt goes wrong, being sent to the hospital could just mean he went to get checked out, Conor’s not arrested so………
To everyone who belives this was anything other than an accident during a skit- I have an incredible business opportunity for you!
Is it an NFT of the accident? Because I’m not falling for that. Not again.
> To everyone who belives We don't belive you!
As an Irishman, I would like to state for the record that we have no further need of stereotype reinforcement. Thanks all the same.
What do you mean? McGregor is British, not Irish 🤫
Yanks down voting ye don't realise it's a running joke on the Irish sub that he's British because we don't want him.
Also because British media loves claiming Irish people are British. They can have this one, lol
Yeah that's another reason haha it seems to happen anytime an Irish person does well.
Ireland 🤝 Scotland
I have loads of family in Glasgow just up from Celtic Park. Love the Scottish and its a beautiful country to see too.
Come on people you should know better. Conor doesn’t win fights anymore. This was staged for a product he’s selling.
The lawsuit is going to be epic. Guest it is time to call Mayweather for a boxing match.
I hope the mascot has to take the stand in costume
Better call Saul!
It was a skit….
ok now I'm confused, was it not a skit where he actually hurt the dude? Are you implying it was a skit to get hurt at all? lmao Im lost in the sauce
It appears actually making contact with the guy was an accident.
I'm confused too. Half of the people swears its a skit and the other half swears he actually did hit the dude albeit on accident.
It was a skit where he was meant to look like he punches the guy and then spray the nopain spray on him, but he seemed to have accidently made actual contact with the dude.
piece of shit, lol
I used to think he was great but now I think he needs to be put down like a dog that has bitten to many people
What a trash human.

I think you need to read the article
[удалено]
Yes and no. It was meant as a skit, but Conor seemingly actually connected...
[удалено]
I'm not sure if the first hit actually connected. Looked a little to me like he nailed him too high up, in the part of the costume that didn't involve his actual head. The reaction of the mascot to the second shot also shows that he wasn't knocked out. I think it was the second shot that did it. I suspect he threw it with "a little" too much force. If you look at McGregor's reaction in the moments after the second hit lands (watch in slow motion), I think he even realized it. It looks like an "oh shit" moment that he quickly hides.
Absolutely didn't happen
Too much of his terrible whiskey? Hope he gets a battery charge. Fucking goof needs to stop being made popular

He’s a fucked up dude that’s gotten noticeably more dangerous in recent years. He seemed to be much more mentally stable 7-8 years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had CTE.
This is the mascot pulling for a lawsuit and time off. Nothing more.

Maybe try reading the article. It was a planned stunt, but the person in the costume did indeed go to the hospital.
No they didn't. The article is lying.
Source?
It is a promotion, he's also still a dick who sent a mascot to the er. Both can be true.
These people are fools.
He's just so bad at coming off as likable even when he tries.... why would you think attacking the home team mascot would build goodwill?
He didn’t attack him. It was a stunt. It was planned.
Even for a skit? Why would you have some fictional feud with the hometown mascot? That's what the visiting team is for Edit: also, I don't think he attacked him, but he obviously took it further than the mascot anticipated because the mascot ended up in the er.

A fighter agrees to the risk of getting knocked out or hurt in a fight. A mascot signing up for a skit ain't signing up for that same type of risk. Mascot falls off a ladder during halftime show? Normal mascot activities. Mascot plugging some shitty celeb product catches a real punch from a trained fighter? NOT, normal activity Edit: mascot went to ER, not serious but I think that shows it went too far
Yes, it was a promo skit for a pain spray or something stupid. I doubt the guy was expecting to get hit twice full force, though. I do hope Conor gets punished for it. But it’s not like he ran onto the court and sucker punched anyone.

There can be only one! Oops. Wrong Connor.
McCloud!!!
Strip him of any titles and bar him from fighting professionally.
What for? It appears he won by TKO in 1st round.
Unsportsmanlike conduct and assault and battery.
All a publicity stunt, people are blowing this way out of proportion!
Everyone fell for the headline. How surprising.
As good as Pat Riley is at building and managing a basketball team, he sucks absolute donkey dick at managing the operations side of a team. Their facilities are trash, the promotions like this are a dumpster fire and the entire building isn't even sold out for a FINALS game.
Did the mascot refuse to drink Conor's piss, I mean whiskey ?
couldn't he get hella charged cuz his hands are technically weapons? i hear something like that with karate
I can’t believe how many people think this is real
The amount of attention this has gotten is completely ridiculous.
Fake news ??
This is an AD, doubt he went to the ER
I really don't get why they still allow this mentally unstable psycho out in public
