Malignaggi calls Dana White a 'fraud' after sparring video release
Paulie Malignaggi had some words for UFC president Dana White following the release of a video showcasing a sparring session between him and Conor McGregor, and they weren't exactly pleasant.
The former WBA welterweight champion made sure to give his side of the story on an issue that has escalated greatly over the last few weeks. In the video, McGregor appeared to be the better man in the ring, but Malignaggi took it upon himself to explain what he feels actually happened.

What I been saying still holds true, he gets 11 and 12 of which he shows footage and the "knockdown" is right hand draggin me down. 36 min.

They have rights to the footage, I've gone over all 20 rounds, he hasn't released anything I didn't already discuss from the start. https://t.co/1wKribHArl

McGregor also addressed the sparring incident early Friday night, calling Malignaggi's memory into question and labeled him a "lovable mouthpiece."
