Former sparring partner to Conor McGregor, Paul Malignaggi and “Notorious” are not currently on great terms. After a series of sparring photos were leaked, Malignaggi departed from the UFC champion’s training camp. Now, the former boxer has reveled that he would be willing to fight Conor McGregor for free, just for another chance to hit him in the face.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, as transcribed by MMA Fighting, Paul Malignaggi explained “I’m willing to risk fighting him for free just to punch him in the mouth again, again and again. That’s how confident I am he can’t beat me. I’d make it winner take all just for the pleasure of putting my fist in his teeth again.”
