Former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi has been doing everything in his power to get Conor McGregor's attention and he finally succeeded on Tuesday night.
Malignaggi, who recently signed on with Bare Knuckle FC, slapped McGregor's teammate, Artem Lobov, at a BKFC media event at Mendez Boxing in New York on Tuesday, and proceeded to tell Lobov how he'd "fucking kill him."
See below:
Remember, the last time someone stepped to Lobov it was Khabib Nurmagomedov, and we all know how McGregor reacted to that incident.
Additionally, Malignaggi told The MMA Hour that he'd beat the shit out of McGregor so bad that his Proper No. 12 whiskey wouldn't sell anymore.
“The only guy that doesn’t want to make Malignaggi-McGregor is McGregor and anybody directly involved with him because they understand the game is over once that fight happens,” Malignaggi told host Luke Thomas.
“The show, the game, the flaunting, everything’s over. Because once I beat the shit out of you after all the past we’ve had and all the lies you’ve told, you’re done, you’re history. Nobody will ever want to remember you again. So you can’t have that. Not even his Proper whiskey would sell anymore.”
Of course, McGregor wasn't going to stand-by while the 38-year old former boxer ran his mouth. Rather than issuing a verbal or written response, Conor simply took to twitter with photo evidence of their sparring session last year, prior to the boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. He then took jabs at Khabib Nurmagomedov and his wife, but that's a whole different story.
