Paulie Malignaggi calls out ‘coward’ Conor McGregor after shock Bare Knuckle FC signing

Paulie Malignaggi just won’t seem to let it go.

The former two-weight boxing world champion has had a grudge to settle with UFC star Conor McGregor ever since the Irishman released footage of their much talked about sparring session in 2017.

Malignaggi, who appeared to be dropped by McGregor with a combination, feels ‘The Notorious’ tried to tarnish his reputation by releasing the footage, and claims he got the better McGregor throughout the sparring session.

Malignaggi has been calling out McGregor ever since and, after his recent signing with Bare Knuckle FC, the 38-year-old wants to settle his beef with the former UFC ‘champ-champ’ in a bare knuckle contest.
