Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi push down sparring video released
UFC President Dana White has released a clip of the sparring session between Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi in which Malignaggi claims he was pushed down.
Paulie Malignaggi was upset with pictures leaked showing Malignaggi on the canvas during a twelve round sparring session. Unhappy with the way he was treated during the camp he urged team McGregor to release the footage to prove if it was a push or knock down.
It appears from the footage it was not a push down however Malignaggi claims via his twitter, “Pushing my head down with right hand as he’s draggin me in that direction by it then throwin the left, the push down is with right hand.”
“Honestly he disguises it better than I thought or it the angle of the vid, in real time in gym no one thought knockdown we just continued.”
That was round 12 which I've openly discussed I was fatigued and lost. The "knockdown" however watch his right hand drag me from behind neck https://t.co/UBttH2QPxL
