It’s 2022 and there’s still a feud going on between Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi.<\/p>\n
Let’s turn back the clock to 2017. As the first-ever UFC “Champ-Champ” McGregor was at his peak inside the Octagon. He was fresh off an Aug. 2016 victory over Nate Diaz in their stellar rematch. The “Notorious” one went to heights no one in the UFC and MMA period aside from Ronda Rousey had seen before.<\/p>\n
The momentum was so huge that he landed a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. In the leadup to the fight, McGregor’s team brought in Malignaggi, a former multiple-time world boxing champion.<\/p>\n
Much was made over sparring footage<\/a> between McGregor and Malignaggi. The “Notorious” one was seemingly giving the “Magic Man” the business. At one point, McGregor even scored a knockdown, which Malignaggi disputed even though the footage was clear.<\/p>\n Malignaggi took issue with McGregor as he felt the footage was released publicly to make him look bad. Ultimately, Mayweather defeated McGregor but the bad blood between “Mystic Mac” and Malignaggi continued.<\/p>\n YouTube star Jake Paul is known to ruffle some feathers. Paul has transitioned into the world of boxing and has called for a showdown with McGregor. He recently took to social media to poke fun<\/a> at a clip of McGregor hitting a pad with boxing gloves on.<\/p>\n Malignaggi let it be known that he agrees with Jake<\/a>.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulmalignaggi\/status\/1502403724555128836?s=21<\/p>\n “I agree with Jake. Conor is light work.”<\/em><\/p>\n McGregor didn’t hold his tongue in response to Malignaggi.<\/p>\n I left you like a little seesaw pic.twitter.com\/5FNO8U0KVF<\/a><\/p>\n — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 12, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
