Conor McGregor’s sparring sessions with Paulie Malignaggi have been a hot topic as of late, and recently Dana White released some footage of the two throwing hands.

Malignaggi recently left McGregor’s camp, after a picture was shared on social media, which prompted talk that he had been knocked down by the UFC champ. Malignaggi has insisted that picture was shot right after he was pushed to the canvas, and the retired boxer’s also claimed he got the better of McGregor in their second sparring session. In addition, Malignaggi has called for video of all 12 rounds of the sparring to be released.

Full Contact Fighter owner Joel Gold had this to say, following the video’s release:

“After McGregor gets beat by Mayweather, McGregor’s next match will be against Malignaggi”.

McGregor will box Floyd Mayweather on August 26th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
