Morning Report: Conor McGregor takes aim at Khabib Nurmagomedov, Paulie Malignaggi on social media

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well apparently, Conor McGregor has an awful lot to say to Paulie Malignaggi.

Recently, Maliginaggi signed with Bare Knuckle FC, where McGregor’s teammate and training partner Artem Lobov is currently signed. Yesterday, an the BKFC media day for Lobov’s fight with Jason Knight on Saturday, Malignaggi showed up and slapped Lobov, starting a scuffle that will inevitably set the stage for a future fight between the two.

But the slap did more than set up a fight with Lobov; it also drew the ire of the recently retired McGregor, who posted to Twitter no less than 16 photos of his infamous sparring session with Malignaggi, showing McGregor seemingly beating up on the former world champion boxer.
