I think Conor thought the dudes padded costume would protect him, maybe? At least afterwards he pretend sprayed him with the pain reliever spray he was there shilling. I'm sure that was a big help to the guy
"McGregor was there as a promotional gimmick for a pain-relief spray ā and was booed by many in the Miami crowd even before the bit started. The flame mascot was wearing oversized boxing gloves and a robe akin to what a fighter would wear entering the ring for a bout. McGregor hit Burnie with a left hook, knocking him down, then punched the mascot again after he hit the floor.
McGregor then tried to āsprayā the mascot with the pain-relief product, while several members of the Heatās in-game promotional team dragged Burnie off the court.
Burnie ā more specifically, the man who occupies Burnieās costume ā briefly sought medical attention Friday night after taking two punches from McGregor.
The Heat said Saturday that the employee, who was not identified, received pain medication and was resting at home."
