Jorge Masvidal took to social media to condemn Conor McGregor hospitalising the Miami Heat mascot.
The Miami Heat mascot, Burnie, was struck by the former UFC two-division champion McGregor during the third quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets by using the same iconic left hook that knocked out Jose Aldo.
After a quick size up, McGregor brutally doubled over the mascot with a left hand and dropped him to the hardwood. McGregor then placed a final blow on the downed mascot and was met with a series of boos from the fans, who were concerned about the mascot's well-being.

The following Saturday, it was confirmed that the man inside the Burnie costume was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment after being struck by McGregor.
Masvidal, as a result, tweeted about the incident condemning McGregor's actions.
"Conor u f****** p**** u came here and threw the chakras of the mascot and team so for that u banned b****," Masvidal tweeted.
The 34-year-old sat courtside during the game to promote his new plant-based recovery spray, 'Tidl.' Furthering the promotion, McGregor squared up with the 7’6” orange-furred Heat mascot, who was donning a pair of metallic gold boxing gloves.
