The now-retired former two-weight boxing champion split from McGregor after photos of their sparring sessions were released, appearing to show "Notorious" getting the better of Malignaggi.
On Saturday evening, Malignaggi teased a reveal of more details of their last session, while also claiming McGregor struggled to withstand his body blows:
