Things are not going well for the Miami Heat right now. The team is in a deep hole at the NBA Finals, but the team’s mascot has it even worse.

Heat mascot Burnie was involved in a skit during Friday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets involving Conor McGregor, the mixed martial arts legend. These things can go wrong at times — Red Panda, who juggles plates during halftime performances during the season, even drops a plate or too sometimes and the quickchange artist can err — but this was on another level.

McGregor was there to promote a pain relief product and the spot was at first believed to just be fun and games. Burnie was sporting gold boxing gloves and moving around like a boxer as McGregor watched. But things got a bit too real and McGregor actually decked the man in the mascot suit, and then hit him again when he was down. The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported the man ended up in the emergency room of a Miami hospital. But not before McGregor sprayed him with the product as he was being dragged off the floor.

Luckily, Amick reported the man was given pain medication and has been discharged from the hospital.

McGregor has not had a real fight in ages, but is expected to return to action later this year.
