"Stand up, will you": humorous exchange between Conor McGregor and NBA star Brook Lopez
A funny moment unfolded on Monday between MMA fighter Conor McGregor and Milwaukee Bucks basketball star Brook Lopez during the NBA game between the Bucks and the Utah Jazz. Cameras captured the playful interaction between the two athletes near Milwaukee's bench.
McGregor approached the Bucks' bench and started a lighthearted conversation with Lopez. At one point, Lopez stood up, showcasing the comical height difference between himself and the MMA star, much to the crowd's amusement.
Lopez later revealed what the two were discussing:
"McGregor asked me how tall I was. I let him know. He asked me to stand up and I did," Lopez explained.
The basketball player jokingly added that he might now have to reach out to Damian Lillard to become his promoter or manager and teach him how to fight.
A week prior, Conor McGregor attended Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony in Washington, D.C. He was also spotted at the event with Jake and Logan Paul, fueling speculation about a potential match between McGregor and Logan Paul in the near future.
