Former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi thinks UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor is going to have a rough time on Saturday night.
Malignaggi recently spoke to Fight Hype and talked about McGregor’s upcoming fight with Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
“Saturday there are probably going to be some pretty rough moments for him (McGregor),” Malignaggi said. “He’s going to have to come through and show some character in there.”
Malignaggi’s bad blood towards McGregor stems from their sparring sessions together. Malignaggi left McGregor’s training camp because he was upset about photos, and later videos, that were leaked of McGregor landing shots on him.

Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
