Conor McGregor is all over the internet and on the NBA court, too. The Irishman made quite an unexpected splash at Monday night’s NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Utah Jazz. The former UFC champion made a surprise appearance in Salt Lake City to size up with Brook Lopez.

As the clock wound down in the second quarter, McGregor was spotted making his way past the Bucks’ bench at the Delta Center. In a surprising twist, he turned around and approached Bucks center Brook Lopez, leading to a light-hearted and humorous exchange that resembled a pre-fight weigh-in.

Standing at a towering 7’1”, Lopez towered over the 5’8” McGregor, making the size difference so pronounced that it became the highlight of the encounter. And both of them broke into laughter before McGregor headed to his seat on the sideline.

He also chatted live with Fan Duel Sports Network reporter Melanie Ricks during the game. And Conor engaged viewers with his trademark charisma. The conversation touched on the connection between combat sports and basketball, highlighting Bucks point guard Damian Lillard’s passion for boxing. Despite not having fought officially since 2021, McGregor continues to command attention with his larger-than-life personality. Throughout the evening, he was seen mingling with fans and posing for selfies.

Brook Lopez Shared Conversation With Conor McGregor On Their Meet-up

After the game, Lopez shared the details of this quirky moment, revealing that McGregor had asked him about his height. Lopez humorously obliged by standing up, fully aware that it was his duty to play along with the antics. He was familiar with the theatrical nature of fight face-offs. McGregor’s reputation in the octagon might intimidate many, but Lopez, despite having no formal fight experience, was quick to

He jokingly suggested that if anything were to escalate, he’d bring in NBA star Damian Lillard as his fight promoter and trainer.

“He [McGregor] asked me how tall I was. 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 to size him up. I had to do a little something. I’ve seen the face-offs before, so I knew I had to do my part,” Lopez said after the game.

Ultimately, the interaction was a light-hearted diversion from the basketball action. Lopez had a solid game, contributing 10 points, six rebounds, and three blocks in the Bucks’ victory over the Jazz. While McGregor is a notorious figure in the world of combat sports, this sideline moment soon became a viral sensation on the internet.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
