Paulie Malignaggi to Conor McGregor: Once I put his boy Artem Lobov in a coma, ‘he’s gonna want to fight me’

Paulie Maliganggi is doing everything in his power to lure Conor McGregor into the boxing ring.

The former two-division boxing champion is fighting McGregor’s longtime teammate and friend, Artem Lobov, in a bare knuckle grudge match in June, and ‘Magic Man’ knows the Irishman will be watching.

Maliganggi is hoping his upcoming fight against ‘The Russian Hammer’ sets up an even bigger grudge match against McGregor, whom he has been furious with ever since the former UFC ‘champ-champ’ released footage of their controversial sparring session in 2017.

Speaking to MMA journalist Helen Yee in a recent interview, Malignaggi said ‘The Notorious’ is going to want to fight him after he puts Lobov in a coma at BKFC 6.
