For anyone thinking two sparring sessions would have been enough for Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi to settle their differences, you have been sadly mistaken.

Since Malignaggi walked out of the McGregor training camp last week, the jabs are still being thrown around on a regular basis - only this time they are verbal.

Malignaggi was brought in to help the UFC star prepare for his fight against Floyd Mayweather later this month, however, left the camp after images portraying the American negatively were leaked.

And with no further sparring sessions set to be arranged, Malignaggi has slammed McGregor and his team's behaviour at the camp.

"It's about ego, and I'm not an ass-kisser like the guys around him," he told the MMA Hour.

"It's all about status, he's a scumbag. It's all about who kisses his ass better."

The 36-year-old also revealed a few more specific details about their clashes and admitted McGregor got the better of him in the opening exchange.

He added: "I thought, 'this guy is banking on stopping me tonight'. I was angry but I knew I'd come prepared.

"He got better from the first time to the second time but it's still new to him so the increments he's growing at are quite small. My reactions and timing started to come back so I got way better from the first one.

"He did well for five rounds but from six on he became more hit-able. I'm trash talking all the time, telling him he can't hang with me, he's not used to these body shots. He stopped talking because he wanted to save his energy."

Malignaggi confirmed that he did hit the canvas during their second encounter but only after being pushed by McGregor - something that didn't go down well at all.

"He pushed me down during one of his worst rounds because he needed a break. I said 'there's no breaks here', and started hitting him to the body and he began to whimper," Malignaggi continued.

"After 10 rounds I was spent but I did 11 and 12 because I said I would, and he came on stronger.

"I remember thinking he did show some character to come back the way he did, but if I had been as consistent as I had been, would he still have shown the same character? That's what I wanted to find out the next time."
