White says McGregor vs Malignaggi was a ‘one-way beating’ despite conflicting accounts from Conor’s camp

Conor McGregor is facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a little over a week, but a lot of people are still talking about the controversial sparring sessions with Paulie Malignaggi. Dana White released a total of 24 seconds from 60 minutes of sparring, showing the UFC champion getting the better of the retired boxer.

Malignaggi himself is sticking to his story of him clearly winning the earlier rounds, while the more in-shape McGregor won rounds 11 and 12. He says that’s where they got and edited the footage of Conor landing well, and the unedited video would tell a completely different story.
