Conor McGregor appeared to be in excellent favour with the Miami Heat when he was strolling around the Kaseya Centre floor during the NBA Finals wearing a red jumpsuit. However, it doesn’t seem to be the situation right now.
McGregor and the Heat allegedly planned to make his “cryo” pain reliever from Tidl Sport the “official pain relief partner” of the team. But according to Page Six, that notion has lost steam since his mishaps involving the squad.
McGregor and the Heat had an excellent working relationship until Game 4 of the Finals, but two events there changed everything.
The first incident had McGregor striking Burnie, the team mascot, in the head during a plainly amateurish performance, and sending him to the hospital.

The second, more serious incident, concerns allegations made by a lady that the MMA fighter sexually assaulted her in a lavatory at the Kaseya Centre.
The pain reliever agreement seems to be off the table for McGregor now.
An insider told Page Six, “This was very bad for an otherwise spotless organisation.” “It’s hard for me to believe the Heat’s management would want the Tidl Sports patch on their uniforms. It serves as a reminder of the organization’s terrible 24-hour period.
According to the New York Post, the woman’s lawyer, Ariel Mitchell, alleges that her client was separated from her pals and taken into a restroom where McGregor was supposedly waiting for her. After the game, McGregor and the victim can be seen in a video at a club. They were conversing when he eventually walked away.
TMZ Sports’ video, in Mitchell’s opinion, depicts the two “visibly awkwardly interacting with each other.”

McGregor has categorically refuted the charges.
According to Barbara Llanes, Mr. McGregor’s attorney, “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.”
“While the claimant’s story has changed yet again, our account of the evening has never changed,” Llanes continued in reference to the video. “This video simply strengthens our argument. We anticipate that the investigation will be finished quickly.
In a second video that TMZ discovered, McGregor is shown leading the woman by the hand to a toilet as several people watch from outside the door.
According to Mitchell, her client thought she was being led out of the arena when a man in a Denver Nuggets jersey called out to her, “Conor told me to come get you.”
According to Mitchell, her client “did not even recall who led her into the loo until seeing this video,” after seeing the video of McGregor shooing her away.

“The claimant’s lawyer has changed her story since the TMZ video was released,” Llanes claimed. “Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation because he is confident it will disprove the accusations made against him. She turned to the media to exert pressure after failing to comply with the claimant’s counsel’s demand for payment. This merely amounts to a shakedown.
Later, Mitchell called the “shakedown” claims made by Fox News Digital “false.”
“Mr. McGregor’s team can claim that the charges are untrue and that this is a shakedown, but the footage is unmistakable. Rather than his pregnant fiancée, a soon-to-be married father with a fourth child on the way is himself escorting a stranger into the restroom, Mitchell said.
Since then, McGregor has been spotted in New York City with fiancee Dee Devlin and their kids.
The allegations were known to the NBA and the Heat.
