Conor McGregor was an unlikely guest on the floor of the Male Byu-Baylor Basketball game on Tuesday in Provo, Utah, where former UFC champion was apparently adopted by Puma's faithful.
“It is not the byu that you thought you knew,” wrote an X in the midst of generalized confusion about the presence of McGregor in the famous pious school.
The Church of Jesus Christ of the leader of the last days, Brigham Young, founded his homonymous university in 1875 and since then the students have adhered to a code of honor that prohibits sexual relations outside of marriage, not to mention drugs, Alcohol, caffeine and vulgar language.
There are even dressing and cleaning standards that could conflict with the famous McGregor tight clothes and irregular beard.
McGregor, on the other hand, has been ordered to pay $ 257,000 to the woman who accused him of raping her in 2018 on a night he was using cocaine. In addition, McGregor and the Miami Heat of the NBA are currently facing a federal demand on states that MMA's legend sexually assaulted a woman in a bathroom in the Kaseya center, while security was guard out of the post.
But while McGregor has maintained his innocence in these cases, and the guests to the campus are not subject to the Code of Honor, basketball fans were surprised to see him on the floor of the Center J. Willard Marriott.

“I didn't think I was going to find this today,” said a person in X.
“Conor McGregor leading the Byu Student section in a song is perhaps the most unexpected sports crossing of the year,” added another.
A fan could not help considering McGregor as a Byu student: “Good lawd that man could never be admitted to the code of honor they obtained!”
And McGregor was not there to sit in silence when the hometown couugars defeated the Bears visitors, 93-89, with a 15-point performance of the aspiring Russian NBA, Egor Dmin. The notorious MMA, as it is known on social networks, actually pumped the multitude of pumas with songs of 'byu'.
Some on social networks referred to the accusation of rape, but most fans have just offered their true surprise.
“This is definitely the most strange timeline,” wrote a fan in X. “I didn't have this on my 2025 bingo card. What is happening? '
This was McGregor's second basketball game on so many nights. On Monday in Salt Lake City, he was seen in the lateral line of the Bucks trying to measure against the 7 -foot center 1 Brook López.
After the strange interaction highlighted the height difference between the athletes, López talked about the game after the game.
“He asked me how high it was,” López said. I will let it know. He asked me to stand up, and I did it. And I knew at that time once I got up, I had to qualify it.
“You know, I had to do something,” he added. “I've seen the clashes before, so I had to do my part.”

The basketball games on Monday and Tuesday were much less agitated than McGregor's visit to the NBA finals in Miami in June 2023.
Not only is he accused of sexually assaulting a woman in that game, but in a wrong bit on the court, McGregor hit the team's pet, Burnie, sending the performer disguised falling to the hard wood at the beginning of the night. A second blow he sent the pet kicking his feet and rolling in apparent agony.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra confirmed that the person who portrays the pet was taken to the hospital, but assured that journalists Burnie did not suffer any permanent injury.
“We will not reveal who it is, but yes, it can hit and go up again,” said Spoelstra at that time. “He will not miss at any time.”
Since then, McGregor portrayed the incident when a 'sketch' went wrong.
“The pet is good, man,” he told Adam Glyn in June 2023. “The pet is good. It was a parody, and it was as it was, but everything is fine.
