Last night, former boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi quit Conor McGregor’s camp after photos surfaced of Malignaggi getting beat up and put on the canvas by the UFC star during a recent sparring session.

“I wanted to be part of this event, but I didn’t want to become the story, and that’s what this has turned into,” Malignaggi told ESPN. “I won’t release any information about his game plan or what he’s working on; I wouldn’t do that. But this has become a fiasco. It’s a circus.”
Malignaggi is still talking trash to Conor on Twitter and is now claiming that he was beating up on the UFC star before the knockdown pic was taken.
Nah I pretty much talked shit that whole sparring session while I beat the breaks off him, the push down was his frustration from it. https://t.co/m0IDBP0pB2

Maybe but I didn't Pay for anything, a video exists, UFC PI has 24 hr cameras, when the fight is over will they release UNEDITED film? https://t.co/U4sPatwsIn

Hate to say it but it's clear when I look back at my time there that there was an agenda from the start, too many clues. https://t.co/dxjLvu3Oyt
