The combat sports world is buzzing about the leaked images from UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor’s training camp.
This week, photos were released of McGregor sparring with former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi.
In the photos, Malignaggi appears to have taken quite a bit of damage from the UFC champion.
Many people have speculated if McGregor truly did hurt Malignaggi. Since the photos were released, Malignaggi has gone to social media and claimed he actually got the better of McGregor inside the ring.
Someone on Twitter edited one of the images of Malignaggi on the mat with McGregor standing over him and included former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski.
“I’m as skeptical as the next fella but if Paulie wasn’t really hurt then how do you explain Arlovski’s reaction?” a Twitter user said while editing a photo of Arlovski looked shocked when McGregor knocked Malignaggi down.
McGregor will make his professional boxing debut on Aug. 26. He is scheduled to fight boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather in Las Vegas.
