Malignaggi, who sparred with McGregor for 12-rounds on Tuesday in Las Vegas, was angry about leaked photos that made it appear he was knocked down by McGregor in sparring.
Here was Malignaggi’s response to the leaked photos:
Only his personal photographers allowed in the gym. Don't just invent you're own reality of things because it's how u wish it to be buddy. https://t.co/OsnN2AkL56
