New Delhi: UFC star Conor McGregor had a lighthearted moment with the NBA player Brook Lopez during the match between Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz. In the second quarter of the match, McGregor was seen in conversation with Brooks. He was curious about his height and asked the 7-foot-1 NBA player to stand which led to a friendly stare-down between the two.
After the Bucks’ win, Brook talked about his encounter with McGregor and said that he asked me how tall I was, so I told him. “Then he asked me to stand up, and I knew I had to size him up. I’ve seen face-offs before, so I had to play along” Brook added.

Antetokounmpo also had seven assists and 18 rebounds which helped his team to secure their ninth victory in 11 matches.
