Paulie Malignaggi: McGregor ‘Whimpers Like a Girl’ From Body Shots
The UFC champ’s former sparring partner continues to take jabs at McGregor following an abrupt exit from McGregor’s camp—and only a few weeks out from the showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Almost every combat sports fan is salivating over the hype leading up to the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather bout, and Paulie Malignaggi continues to add to the fire.
Since his acrimonious exit, the retired boxer has returned to Twitter to air his grievances. On Saturday, he tweeted: “He [McGregor] whimpers like a girl when he gets ripped to (the) body lol.”
Yea but this coming week I'll actually start to discuss a bit what happened Tuesday, he whimpers like a girl when he gets ripped to body lol https://t.co/lfcuILlubJ
Over the weekend the trash talk continued. Via Twitter, Malignaggi discussed how McGregor had “quit” when he was fighting Nate Diaz for the first time.
Exactly, n right after that he mentions Conor trying 2 take HIM down when he's the ground fighter, that's quitting if you read between lines https://t.co/04WkxSTxFb
As of Monday morning, McGregor had not responded to the post on Instagram or Twitter.
Malignaggi is continuing to throw jabs, but maybe it’s because he’s aiming to be McGregor’s next opponent in the ring. By the boxer’s own admission, his critical comments he made of McGregor back in December was all an attempt to get him in the ring for a legitimate fight.
