Ahead of Conor McGregor's fight with Floyd Mayweather next weekend, 'Notorious' asked former two weight boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi to join his training camp.

The former IBF Junior Welterweight and WBA Welterweight champion was drafted in to help McGregor train for his upcoming bout in Las Vegas on 26th August, but their relationship deteriorated after pictures surfaced online of McGregor apparently putting Malignaggi on the canvas.

On top of that, pictures of the 36-year-old looking worse for wear after some mean looking shots from the two-weight UFC Champion went viral.


Now, days after Malignaggi posted a statement on Friday morning explaining that he has decided to leave the Irishman's camp after just two sessions, UFC president Dana White has released footage of his sparring session with McGregor.

The footage shows McGregor's infamous 'knockdown' of Malignaggi in the ring. Was it a knock down or a push down?

Malignaggi responded to the leak on Twitter saying he wanted to see the 'full footage'.

As we mentioned earlier, pictures surfaced online of McGregor apparently putting Malignaggi on the canvas, but Malignaggi later dismissed the shot of of him on the mat as a 'pushdown' rather than a knockout shot.


Plenty of McGregor fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion, and the American boxer fired back with several disparaging remarks about Notorious and the 'ass beating' he gave him during Tuesday's sparring session.

The 36-year-old said that McGregor 'whimpers like a girl' when he receives a body shot, but from the above footage released by Dana White, it looks like 'Notorious' has one up on Malignaggi.

You decide if Paulie 'beat his ass'.
