Conor McGregor shows his inner 'Mr. Beast' after sending the Miami Heat mascot to hospital

Conor McGregor has made headlines for both good and bad reasons over the past week.

'The Notorious' recently made an appearance at the NBA Finals, contested between Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat, where an apparent skit went awry. McGregor punched the Miami Heat mascot, Bernie, in the face, which unfortunately sent him to the hospital.

But on the most recent episode of 'The Ultimate Fighter' (TUF) 31, Conor McGregor channeled his inner 'Mr. Beast' with an immensely generous act.

Mr. Beast, one of the world's biggest YouTubers, is famous for his generosity, such as giving a waitress a new car as a tip or spending millions of dollars on clothes for people in need.

During episode three of TUF 31, which aired yesterday, McGregor paid a young fan $1,200 for several custom-made action figures of 'The Notorious'.

Conor McGregor uploaded footage of the interaction on Twitter and said:

"It was a pleasure meeting Samuel on tonight's episode of The @UltimateFighter. An incredible craftsman!"

Watch the video below:

Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are the coaches for the ongoing season of TUF. The show is scheduled to finish on August 15, and the two lightweight stars are expected to face off at some point in the future.

The fight is yet to be officially announced by the UFC, as complications regarding McGregor's re-entry into the USADA testing pool appear to be lingering.

The Irishman was removed from the testing pool following his fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. McGregor broke his leg in brutal fashion and has recently completed rehabilitation on the injury.

'The Notorious' will need to re-enter the USADA testing pool for six months before he is eligible to compete, and it is unclear whether he has done so yet.
