But the return didn’t go as per plan. Conor McGregor lost the pretty one-sided fight in round 4 via submission.
Many of Conor haters expressed their views on his loss at UFC 229 against Khabib Nurmagomedov. One of such haters was Paulie Malignaggi.
Malignaggi, who was a training partner of Conor McGregor ahead of his 2017 mega showdown with Floyd Mayweather, showed nothing but disrespect in his tweet.

Paulie Malignaggi misses no chance of showing hate towards Conor McGregor.
In an interview with Fight Hype, Malignaggi said, “ I watched it. I was at a party. I did see the McGregor fight with Khabib,”
“It’s what I’ve been saying. This guy’s got no balls, he’s got no character and he showed it in the fight again.”
Paulie also said that Conor McGregor is the most overhyped fighter in combat sports history.
Paulie added, ”He got two ass whoopings, he got his ass kicked by Khabib and then Khabib’s posse came in and f***ed him up a little more.”
