New photo Conor McGregor ‘in talks’ to fight hated rival Malignaggi – and settle sparring session knockout

CONOR McGREGOR is “in talks” to fight bitter rival Paulie Malignaggi as the pair look to settle last year’s ongoing training camp row.

The pair were involved in a very public fall-out last year after Malignaggi was brought in for sparring by McGregor ahead of his boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather.

It all blew up after a photo was released on social media that showed Malignaggi on the canvas during one of their sessions.

Team McGregor insisted their man had floored the former WBA welterweight world champ.

And a video released by McGregor’s friend and UFC supremo Dana White appeared to back that up.

But Malignaggi was furious, insisting it was as a result of a push from the UFC star.

The retired boxer went on to describe McGregor as “one of the biggest dirtbags I’ve ever met in my life”.

And according to multiple sources within boxing and MMA, the two may finally get to thrash out their differences in the ring.

Negotiations are believed to be “ongoing” for the pair to meet in a boxing fight – and it could offer the opportunity for McGregor to prove punches really can floor Malignaggi.

Since that infamous sparring “knockdown” the two have been going at it for months.

After McGregor’s stoppage defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov, Malignaggi was of course quick to comment.

Uploading a photo of McGregor tapping out to the Russian at UFC 229, Malignaggi wrote “#noballs #quitter @TheNotoriousMMA .”

And he even appeared to justify Nurmagomedov’s post-fight actions where he launched himself at Team McGreogor.

Malignaggi posted on Twitter: “This man [Khabib] has more honor, character and balls than @NotoriousMMA his team and any of these @ufc suits combined.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
