Conor McGregor received some backlash over the weekend for his appearance at the Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets game.

Despite the confident claims of their star man, Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat fumbled the ball in their own court. Now, retired UFC star Jorge Masvidal has claimed that Conor McGregor may have something to do with the poor performance of the team in these last two games. ‘Gamebred’ took to Twitter to send a message to ‘The Notorious’ hours after the disastrous result of game 5.

Jorge Masvidal did not hold off in his message to McGregor. In a recent tweet, the former UFC BMF champion wrote, “Connor u f***ing pu**y u came here and threw the chakras of the mascot and team so for that u banned b*tch.”

While Masvidal announced that McGregor is banned from attending Heat’s games, there are no official statements regarding the same. McGregor and the Heat mascot Burnie were in a promotional skit for the Irishman’s ‘TIDL Sport’ recovery spray.
