Conor McGregor got more than he negotiated when he was gone last night with a gigantic 7'1 Center Brook Lopez.
The Irishman was in the house when the Utah Jazz defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and felt his presence at the court in the Delta Center. After making news with a different kind of face-off opposite Jeremy Stephens on Saturday evening, McGregor seemed to catch the basketball star.
However, he probably did not expect Lopez in such an aggressive way, who won an NBA championship in 2021, and the moment is now viral about social media with fans laughing at the monstrous size of size.
Conor McGregor squares up to 7'1 basketball star on courtside
Last week Conor McGregor enjoyed Life Statesside. The former two-weight UFC champions have achieved the headlines with a number of different performances, from the inauguration of Donald Trump to the BKFC show of Saturday evening in Philadelphia.
Last night was no different, because he appeared at the court in the Delta Center to look at the Utah Jazz struggle against a defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks. Most celebrities try to keep a low profile because they enjoy games, but McGregor is not a normal star and had to earn a number of headlines.
He walked around the middle game around the area while looking for where he had to sit, before he went to the Bucks bank and made a Beeline for Lopez. It was unclear on the broadcast what was being said, but the couple seemed to go for a second before McGregor continued.

After the game, the media gathered in the dressing room of Bucks to discuss the game with Lopez, and he was asked about the incident. He joked that he wasn't sure about what would happen if something would fall, and noticed that he would leave that to teammate Damian Lillard.
“He asked me how long I was,” Lopez told reporters. “I told him and he asked me to get up and I did. At the time I got up at that time, I had to chase him, I had to do something, I saw the face-offs before, so I knew I had to do my part.
“If something is going to happen, Dame might be my promoter, be my manager and learn to fight me. Because I have nothing, I really have nothing, so I will have to rely on Lady for that. “
When a reporter noted that McGregor is now a movie star after his debut in Roadhouse last summer, Lopez noted that he would play a role in his next position. He joked, “I'm here, I'm quite theatrical.”
