Former UFC title challenger Jorge Masvidal is none too pleased with Conor McGregor's recent antics.

During game four of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets, McGregor was in attendance at the Kaseya Center for an arena skit to promote a pain relief spray. As it turns out, the mascot needed more than the spray as McGregor landed a punch on him as part of the entertainment.

The only problem is, the "Notorious" one's strike legitimately connected, and the man in the suit had to go to the hospital, but the good news is he has since been released.

Masvidal caught wind of the incident and he hopped on Twitter to put McGregor on blast.

"Connor u f***ing pussy u came here and threw the chakras of the mascot and team so for that u banned b***h"

Time will tell if there's any fallout from the incident involving McGregor and the mascot. The McGregor incident seemingly kicked off what would become a wild weekend in MMA. 

There was an insane brawl in the crowd for UFC 289, the same event that saw Amanda Nunes retire from pro MMA competition. The following night, the teams of Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III brawled after the exhibition bout was stopped in Sunrise, Florida.
