Conor McGregor Stops By Bucks Bench to Size Up Brook Lopez in the Middle of a Game
Conor McGregor was on a business trip to Utah this week, but all work and no play probably makes the former UFC champion unhappy so he decided to take in a local sporting event which is how he found himself courtside as the Jazz hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.
During the second quarter McGregor was walking around court-side. His trip included walking on the floor and in front of the Bucks’ bench—both of which are probably no-no’s for normal people. Instead of hurrying to his seat as play continued after a Damian Lillard free throw, McGregor stopped, turned around and walked up to Milwaukee’s 7’1″ center Brook Lopez who was as tall seated as McGregor was standing. McGregor asked him to stand up and, well, turns out the 16-inch height difference is very noticeable.

Since there was a basketball game going on, the braodcast went back to the action before the camera person had a chance to zoom out enough for both athletes’ heads were in the same frame.
Lopez discussed the meeting in the locker room after the game, explaining that it went down exactly how it looked.
“He asked me how tall I was,” said Lopez. “I let him know. He asked me to stand up and I did. And I knew at that point once I got up I had had to size him up. You know, I had to do a little something. I’ve seen the face-offs before so I had to do my part.”
Maybe if the two ever meet again they can discuss their issues wish mascots. While McGregor greeted the Jazz bear as a friend last night, he did once send the Miami Heat mascot to the hospital during the NBA Finals.

Considering Brook Lopez’s brother Robin has a longstanding feud with mascots they must have a lot to discuss about either an escalation of force or perhaps maybe even the concept of restraint.
Conor McGregor Stops By Bucks Bench to Size Up Brook Lopez in the Middle of a GameIn a surprising turn of events during a recent Milwaukee Bucks game, UFC superstar Conor McGregor made a guest appearance courtside to size up Bucks center Brook Lopez.

As Lopez dominated in the paint, McGregor could be seen nodding approvingly and exchanging a few words with the Bucks players on the bench. The Irish fighter seemed intrigued by Lopez’s size and skill, perhaps even considering a potential matchup in the octagon.
Fans were left wondering what McGregor’s presence meant for the future of Lopez’s career, and whether a crossover into the world of MMA could be in the cards. Only time will tell if this unexpected encounter will lead to any further developments, but one thing’s for sure – McGregor’s interest in Lopez has piqued the curiosity of basketball and fighting fans alike.

Former UFC star Conor McGregor happened to be in Salt Lake City on Monday, and he wound up chatting live with Fan Duel Sports Network reporter Melanie Ricks during the broadcast of the Milwaukee Bucks’ battle with the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center.
After the interview, McGregor also stopped by the Bucks bench and visited briefly with center Brook Lopez … all while the game was happening on the court. As Bucks point guard Damian Lillard was lining up a free throw, cameras caught McGregor shaking hands with Lopez and asking how tall Lopez was, prompting the veteran center to stand up and demonstrate his 7-footness.
The Ultimate Fighting great McGregor happens to stand 5-feet-9-inches tall.
“He asked me to stand up, and I did,” Lopez said afterward. “I knew at that point, once I got up, I had to size him up. I had to do a little something. I’ve seen the (pre-fight) face-offs before, so I had to do my part. If something’s going to happen, maybe Dame can be my promoter, Dame can be my manager or whatever, teach me to fight. Because I’ve got nothing. I’ve got nothing. So I’m going to rely on Dame for that.”
Don’t mind McGregor as he takes a step or two on the court before the free throw.

During the interview, Ricks shared with McGregor that Lillard is a longtime fan of boxing, a sport in which McGregor has dabbled. Lillard also trains and attends the fights. McGregor said Lillard looked “familiar.”
McGregor also stars in the 2024 movie Road House.
“I’m here for that, absolutely,” Lopez said when it was suggested he could share a screen with McGregor, if not a ring. “I’m quite theatrical.”
The brash McGregor hasn’t participated in an official fight since 2021, when he suffered a broken leg, but he remains a popular personality, posing for selfies with members of the crowd throughout the evening.
He’s also been in the news for more dubious reasons. Earlier this month, a woman filed a lawsuit against McGregor, alleging that he sexually assaulted her after a game during the 2023 NBA Finals.

#Conor #McGregor #meets #Brook #Lopez #sideline #Bucks #gameConor McGregor joins Donald Trump supporters at victory rally in US – The Irish Times
Conor McGregor was among the attendees at a pre-inauguration rally for Donald Trump in Washington DC where the US president-elect told supporters on the eve of being sworn into office he would end “American decline”.
“We are so back!” Mr McGregor posted on social media platform X, posing next to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage who joined the 20,000-strong crowd at the Capital One Arena on Sunday.
Speakers and performers at the event included musician Kid Rock, actor Jon Voight, and Dana White, the CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), while billionaire supporter Elon Musk joined the president-elect on stage.
Former UFC champion McGregor flew into Washington DC by private plane from Dublin Airport accompanied by his coach John Kavanagh on Saturday, saying he planned to attend various events surrounding the inauguration.
Sharing a photo on X after his arrival in the US capital, he said: “Just landed in Washington DC to witness @realDonaldTrump become Double Champ!”
Other photographs and videos on social media showed McGregor meeting visiting dignitaries along with Pete Hegseth, Mr Trump’s nominee to serve as US secretary of defense.
“Honour to be in Washington DC to support Donald Trump, the newly elected leader of the free world and to stand with the 13 families who lost their loved ones at Abbey Gate,” McGregor sated in another post.
The service members were killed in 2021 during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
McGregor was ordered to pay almost €250,000 in damages last November after a jury in a civil trial at the High Court found he raped Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in 2018. Last week, he was further was ordered by the High Court not to disseminate CCTV footage used in the civil trial, with Mr Justice Alexander Owens saying he does not get “another run” at the case by throwing out allegations on social media.
Mr Trump used the Sunday rally to again celebrate his election victory, saying: “Tomorrow, at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand-new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride.
“We not only won a mandate, but we built a new American majority that will lead our country to success for generations to come,” he told supporters at arena, which is normally home to the NBA’s Washington Wizards and NHL’s Washington Capitals.
Monday’s inauguration ceremony has been moved indoors due to a severe cold weather snap expected in Washington which will result in a smaller number of attendees. – Additional reporting AP
Conor McGregor Joins Donald Trump Supporters at Victory Rally in US – The Irish TimesIn a surprising turn of events, UFC star Conor McGregor made an appearance at a victory rally for President Donald Trump in the United States. The Irish Times reported that McGregor was seen standing alongside Trump supporters, cheering and waving flags in celebration of the President’s re-election.
McGregor, known for his brash personality and outspoken opinions, has never shied away from controversy. His appearance at the rally has sparked a mix of reactions from fans and critics alike. Some have praised him for showing support for the President, while others have criticized him for aligning himself with Trump and his supporters.
The rally, held in a packed arena, was filled with chants of “Four more years” and “USA” as Trump addressed the crowd. McGregor was seen smiling and clapping along with the audience, clearly enjoying the atmosphere.
It remains to be seen how McGregor’s support for Trump will impact his career and public image. But one thing is for sure – the UFC star has once again proven that he is not afraid to make controversial decisions and stand by them.

#Conor #McGregor #joins #Donald #Trump #supporters #victory #rally #Irish #TimesJake Paul, Logan Paul, Conor McGregor Share Vehicle for Donald Trump Inauguration
Today in North America, Donald Trump will officially be sworn in again as the 47th President of the United States. With the excitement surrounding the event, there are loads of celebrities who will be pouring in to welcome Trump back into office.
More news: Jake Paul Offers Cryptic One-Word Response to Rumors of Conor McGregor Fight
Even though some of these celebrities might have issues with one another, they appear to be casting those issues aside to celebrate the monumental moment. For instance, the longstanding feud between Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and Conor McGregor appears to be over for now.
The Paul brothers and McGregor are going so far as to hang with one another and share a vehicle in what appears to be a video on the way to the event.
An image posted to Jake’s X page shows himself, Logan, McGregor, and the Paul brother’s mother heading over to what would appear to be the inauguration festivities.
Jake posted a hilarious caption that says, “Inauguration going great,” though his face tells a much different story.

What makes the trio hanging out with one another seem a bit confusing, is that McGregor could be set to fight Jake or Logan in the coming future.
Jake has called out McGregor practically every time he has won a boxing match and did so again when he took down Mike Tyson in November. Though the call-out appeared not to do much, McGregor randomly stated that he would be facing Logan on X.

The announcement was a shock to move people, including Jake considering he has been wanting to face McGregor in the boxing ring for years. Instead of getting angry, Jake simply stated that his brother Logan would win decisively.
Now it all makes sense why Conor Mcgregor & his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate for a fight between us.
As we told them them privately & I’m now saying it publicly…the only way we’re willing to explore me vs Conor in a pro boxing / mma fight…
— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 17, 2024
Following McGregor’s admission on X, more rumors began to swirl about his actual next opponent. Based on Jake’s response, he believed this call out was simply to garner a better deal for the long-awaited showdown with McGregor.
Either way, both the Paul brothers and McGregor have had a feud that stretches years and multiple callouts. They appear to be setting that feud aside to celebrate Trump being sworn back into office for the next four years.
Though the vehicle they are sharing looks like it might be filled with more people, the Paul brothers were instantly sat right next to their presumed biggest upcoming opponent.
The car ride over to the inauguration could be the time they need to also hash out a deal to see either Paul brother step into the ring with McGregor.
The bigger issue is whether or not a fight with McGregor can be made right now at all. The Irish superstar recently lost a civil case in November and was found liable for sexual assault in a Dublin High Court following a lawsuit by a woman named Nakita Hand. He has been ordered to pay her more than €248,000 in damages.
McGregor has also been named in a new lawsuit along with the Miami Heat, which accuses him of sexual assault by another woman, which reportedly occurred during the NBA Finals at Kaseya Center on June 9, 2023, where the Heat play their home games.
Whatever happens with his second sexual assault lawsuit in a year could lead to McGregor not being able to fight at all.

McGregor also described America’s standing in the world after Trump’s victory.
“America is the superpower of the world. Long may it continue,” he said. “We love America in Ireland. I have as much love for America as I do for my country of Ireland. It has much ripple effect for the entire free world, the entire Western world.

BRENDAN RODGERS is determined to make certain Celtic go out with a bang as they bring down the curtain on a hugely successful 2024 against St Johnstone at Parkhead this afternoon.
The Hoops boss has taken the opportunity to rest skipper Callum McGregor and he takes his place among the stand-by squad alongside Greg Taylor and Daizen Maeda from the team that started the 4-0 win over Motherwell on Boxing Day.
Paulo Bernardo, Arne Engels and Reo Hatate will comprise the midfield trio while on-loan Barcelona defender Alex Valle come in at No.3.

In a surprising turn of events, it has been confirmed that Conor McGregor and Yuki Maeda will be taking a break from their respective careers. McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion, and Maeda, the Japanese wrestling legend, have both announced that they will be stepping away from competition for the time being.While the reasons for their breaks have not been disclosed, fans are speculating on social media about what could have prompted these decisions. McGregor, known for his brash personality and quick wit, has been a dominant force in the UFC for years but has faced his fair share of controversies both in and out of the octagon. Maeda, on the other hand, has been a pioneer in the world of professional wrestling and has had a storied career spanning decades.
It remains to be seen how long McGregor and Maeda will be on hiatus and what their plans are for the future. In the meantime, fans will have to wait and see what unfolds in the world of combat sports without these two iconic figures in the mix.
