Conor doesn’t like complainers

Let the record show. I like Paulie Malinaggi. Here is a confrontation between us regarding a picture he was upset about. Yes you heard that right. A picture. I told him here to his face. “Don’t be bitching.” Common knowledge I would think for a fighting man. Don’t be a bitch, bitching. The same thing I said to khabib at the end of round 3. My round. Don’t be bitching! Every single round bitching to the referee. He was even bitching in the fourth round from mount position. It baffled me. If anyone should have been saying anything to the referee, it should have been me in that 1st round. That round he held onto my legs for four minutes straight. With zero activity. But a fight is a fight who gives a fuck. Crying to the referee like a proper bitch. I was trying to dig my fingers into his Adams Apple. Many individuals in the fight business, I have learned lately, are absolute bitches. I know you’s are broke boys. But don’t be broke bitches.

Conor McGregor made an Instagram post with some advice for former opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov and his sparring partner in preparation for the Floyd Mayweather fight, Paulie Malignaggi. His advice? “Don’t be bitching.”

The post includes a video of a confrontation between McGregor and Malignaggi where McGregor claims Malignaggi was complaining to McGregor about pictures he shared of their sparring sessions ahead of McGregor’s fight with Mayweather.

“Let the record show. I like Paulie Malignaggi,” McGregor wrote. Here is a confrontation between us regarding a picture he was upset about. Yes you heard that right. A picture. I told him here to his face. ‘Don’t be bitching.’ Common knowledge I would think for a fighting man.”

McGregor then turned his attention to Nurmagomedov, who he says was complaining to the referee throughout their October 2018 fight.

“Every single round bitching to the referee. He was even bitching in the fourth round from mount position.
It baffled me.”

Nurmagomedov got wind of McGregor’s criticisms and was quick to remind McGregor of how their fight ended. He posted to Twitter a gif of McGregor tapping out to end their fight with the caption “You will live with this shame all your life.”

Something tells us these two haven’t seen the last of each other.
