Paulie Malignaggi appeared on the latest edition of The MMA Hour and while relaying his side of the ongoing pushdown versus knockdown saga he described Conor McGregor sparring partner and UFC featherweight, Artem Lobov, as “a punching bag” on several occasions.
Reacting to Malignaggi’s statement, Lobov claimed that he would be more than happy to entertain a fight with the former two-time world champion, insisting that he would “box the ears off him.”
Lobov also claimed that Malignaggi specifically said bad things about him and Tiernan Bradley, another McGregor sparring partner, due to statements they made after the knockdown controversy first came to the forefront.
