Conor McGregor accused of ‘paying off’ hospital sufferer and operating scared

Paulie Malignaggi has likened Conor McGregor to a “real life WWE character” and even claimed that he would not be stunned if he had paid Miami Heat’s mascot to say that the UFC star had put him in hospital.

The Irish MMA fighter hit the news not too long ago after an altercation with the NBA staff’s mascot Burnie throughout a third-quarter promotion of one among McGregor’s personal model merchandise. With Burnie seemingly up for some boxing on courtroom, McGregor appeared to knock him out with one punch earlier than hitting him once more when he was on the ground.

The seven-foot-tall mascot was then dragged off the courtroom, but it surely was later claimed that the person contained in the Burnie costume needed to obtain hospital remedy for his accidents.

However 42-year-old boxer Malignaggi doesn’t price McGregor and has claimed that the whole occasion was utterly staged, doubtlessly together with the hospital journey.

Malignaggi instructed Lord Ping: “I don’t know if he really sent him to the hospital. McGregor is so in tune with his image I could easily see McGregor and his team paying the guy to say he went to hospital to make it look like he’s a badass.

“I’ve been around the team and everything is rehearsed. They do everything to a tee. Everything is staged, except when he gets the s*** beaten out of him. I’ve looked at the footage and I just can’t see that guy winding up in hospital, it’s clearly staged. I don’t know much padding was on the costume and he pulled the punches, it was all for show. McGregor is a wrestling character.”

Earlier this month, YouTuber Jake Paul proposed a two-fight cope with McGregor, with one contest within the boxing ring and the opposite in MMA.

And Malignaggi believes that ought to the double occasion come to move, Paul may have each probability of defeating the ‘nervous and paranoid’ McGregor.

Malignaggi mentioned: “Jake has a high school wrestler background so he would not be totally out of his element in the cage. He’d need to be alert to his kicks, but McGregor had absolutely no balls. If you make him just a little bit uncomfortable, you are going to put yourself in a position where you might win the fight.

“You can make him uncomfortable by beating on him – or if he’s beating on you – if you just hang in the fight he begins to get nervous and paranoid – he’s not a true fighter. He looks for the first window to jump out of. He’s got athletic ability but his anxiety levels get high. That’s why he gets so tired in fights.

“This guy posts pictures of him running up mountains, swimming 25 miles, bicycling through the desert – just to make himself look like he’s Rocky during training and then he gets in the cage and he’s tired after 30 seconds. He’s got no balls. There’s no way you can get that tired unless your anxiety levels are through the roof. He gets scared in there.

“Jake just needs the ability to hang in there and he can start to trouble him a little. He can put himself in the position to win the fight. I think McGregor’s boxing is brutally bad, but at this point, even in MMA, if you hang with him he will get uncomfortable.”
