Efter två veckors trash talk från Paulie Malignaggi mot Conor McGregor har den forne boxningsmästaren nu gjort det klart att han vill möta McGregor i ringen. Såhär sade han när han gästade TheMMAHour för andra gången på rad.
He constantly puts me in the press with these edited videos, edited pictures and whatnot. Now, it’s picked up a ton of momentum. So yeah. So now the bad blood is there. Now, we’ve gotta fight.
Malignaggi agerade sparringpartner åt McGregor inför McGregors förberedelser inför matchen mot Floyd Mayweather den 26:e augusti men hoppade av när det läckt ut bilder från deras sparring. UFCs Dana White lade sedan ut videoklipp från sparringen på sin Twitter.

Såhär sade Malignaggi tidigare om videon:
I mean, they got the money there so they edited it very well. There’s a reason it probably took them about 10 days to put that out there. They had to edit it really, really well.
Obviously in the video, it’s a push down on my neck. In real time speed, when you’re in the middle of it you don’t know exactly what puts you off balance. Obviously, when I saw the video, I had to kind of analyze it at first and then I realized yeah it’s clearly the push down on my neck. … It’s a dirty move, but you don’t even know how to do it. He’s actually so stupid, he didn’t do it right.
Malignaggi kritiserar även White när han nyligen gästade MMA Junkie Radio och hade följande att säga om UFCs VD:
I already know about Dana. Dana robs the UFC fighters blind.
I’ve never met an MMA fighter that actually likes Dana or had anything good to say. I’m still looking for one. When Dana comes up in conversation, I’ve yet to hear anybody say, ‘Wow, that guy’s great.’ Or, ‘That guy treats us so good.’ Or, ‘That guy’s a good guy.’ I’m not going to hold my breath, or I might turn blue. So I would expect that.
