UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor appears to be having success inside the boxing ring.
In preparation for his professional boxing debut later this month, McGregor has been sparring with former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi.
During their sparring sessions, it appears McGregor has been landing some hard shots on the former champion. Malignaggi appears to have some damage on his left eye.

On Aug. 26, McGregor is scheduled to make his professional boxing debut against Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
Mayweather has not fought in almost two years and is coming out of retirement to fight the UFC champion.
Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight will air live on Showtime pay-per-view.
