Malignaggi SPITS at mural of rival Conor McGregor as he continues feud with ex-UFC star
PAULIE MALIGNAGGI does not appear to be willing to drop his grudge against Conor McGregor.
The American boxer’s feud with “Notorious” back in 2017 and the ill-feeling still appears to be as strong as ever.
Malignaggi kept the bad blood flowing as he posted a video of himself spitting on an image of the UFC legend onto Instagram.
The artwork of the former featherweight and lightweight champion was created by Jonas Never outside the O’Brien’s Irish pub in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
In the clip, Malignaggi was asked: “What do you about this right guy here?”
The Brooklyn-born former would champion boxer then spat at the painting and said: “That’s what I think about him.”
And he captioned the video online by tagging in McGregor and his foe’s best pal Artem Lobov – the Russian former UFC ace who will be Malignaggi’s next opponent.
Along with their Insta handles, he wrote: “F*** the other side.”
Malignaggi’s troubles with McGregor started when he stepped in to help the Dubliner prepare for his mega money fight against Floyd Mayweather two years ago.
But their arrangement came to a premature end after a bitter row.

Malignaggi claimed that Team McGregor lied by posting an image of him on the canvas saying he was knocked down after a sparring session.
He has then attempted to set to the record straight by declaring he outboxed McGregor and attempting to get him back into the ring.
Ex two-division champ Malignaggi will make his bare-knuckle boxing debut against Lobov on June 22.
The two men will go head-to-head in the main event of BKFC 6.
