The world of college basketball was in for a surprise when the UFC superstar attended Tuesday night's game between BYU and Baylor, which saw the Cougars beat the Bears 93-89 in overtime. Perhaps, Ireland's McGregor was the good luck charm BYU needed - hyping up the crowd courtside.

Irish mixed martial artist and mega celebrity Conor McGregor sat courtside for BYU basketball’s clash with Baylor, and his presence became an even bigger story than the Cougars’ tense, overtime victory.

McGregor has been linked to several fights since a gruesome leg injury halted his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier. Most notably, McGregor was scheduled to finally fight Michael Chandler after the pair coached TUF 31 against each other in the spring of 2023.

Former UFC double-champion Conor McGregor had time to attend a non-MMA-related sporting event just days removed from BKFC KnuckleMania V.
