Paul Malignaggi has been off radar for a long spell after being let go by Showtime. The fighter-turned-analyst is tip-toeing back into the mix, though, and did an interview on Paige VanZant and Brian Soscia’s “Knuckle Up Radio,” a SiriusXM program. The hosts asked the former titleholder what he thought about his sorta-rival Conor McGregor losing to Dustin Poirier last Saturday at UFC 257. Paulie gave Poirier credit, because the underdog had faced and lost to McGregor before, so he had to get over that mental hurdle. “I tend to not be a guy who holds on (to things), but image-wise, I kinda took a hit when that McGregor thing happened,” Malignaggi said, regarding to some sparring he engaged in with McGregor before Conor fought Floyd Mayweather.
