Conor McGregor Keeps Trying to Prove He Can Box

From Esquire

Exhibit A: A man who, though 40-years-old and retired, is a real boxer.

Exhibit B: A man who, though the current UFC Lightweight Champion, is not a real boxer.

After an almost comically poor showing at McGregor's media workout, UFC President Dana White posted clips of McGregor sparring with former world champ Paulie Malignaggi. Though McGregor told ESPN that he "whupped [Malignaggi's] ass," and left him "badly concussed," the video isn't entirely conclusive.

Malignaggi has claimed that he was set up to look bad, and that the knockdown was really a pushdown.

Knockdown or pushdown, maybe the sideshow will help ticket sales.
