Conor McGregor may not be returning to the octagon until later this year, but he’s certainly showing he’s still got it.
The UFC legend is set to make his return to the sport with a fight against Michael Chandler following his horror injury, however a date for the blockbuster showdown is yet to be agreed.

In the meantime, aside from featuring in The Ultimate Fighter, McGregor has most recently been spotted at Miami Heat’s NBA final against the Denver Nuggets.
Footage posted on social media shows the Irishman standing on the court, promoting a cryotherapy pain relief spray.
But he was soon interrupted by the Heat’s mascot, Burnie, who appeared with a pair of golden boxing gloves.
After jumping in front of McGregor for a few seconds, the UFC star had clearly seen enough, hitting the mascot with a left hook.
Burnie crashed to the ground, before the Irishman stepped in again to punch him again whilst he was down.
Heat staff then pulled the mascot off by the feet, with McGregor running in and spraying him with his pain relief spray as he was dragged away.
Burnie’s sucker punches to the head summed up the Heat’s night, too as they lost 108-95, and fans were keen to make that point as they watched the clip of McGregor.
“Probably the best way to describe the Denver Miami series,” one fan commented on the clip.

Meanwhile another joked: “Foreshadowing is a heck of a literary term!”
A third added: “Mascot still showed more fight than the Heat tonight.”
The Nuggets have now moved to within one win of their first NBA title following their victory over the Heat and can secure the championship with a home win in game five.
