Paulie Malignaggi SPITS at Artem Lobov during press conference
Malignaggi and Lobov will go toe-to-toe at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC) on June 22.
Lobov rose to fame when Khabib Nurmagomedov slapped him in an incident which saw McGregor fly to New York to smash up the Russian’s bus in retaliation.
Former boxer Malignaggi also has bad blood with McGregor after the Irishman leaked footage of their past training sessions.
Malignaggi seemingly only signed up to the BKFC to step into the ring with Lobov.
And during a heated press conference today, where it was confirmed the pair will fight on June 22 in Tampa, Florida, they came to blows during the stare off.
The pair were trading insults when Malignaggi spat in the direction of Lobov forcing security personal to separate the two fighters.
Just beforehand, Malignaggi threatened to do likewise come fight night.
"I might spit on you when I finish you,” he said.
“Actually, I might take my d**k out and p**s on you.
“I’ll p**s in your toothless mouth.”
Malignaggi went on to continue slamming Lobov and his team-mate McGregor.
“I know I have never been the big puncher but as I train I realise my hands are great,” he added.
“First of all, get a look at this guy’s face right now. I am going to make him look like a road map.
“His scars will not go away. I am good looking and I am always good looking.
“This guy here is known as a punching bag and just a guy that has trained with Conor McGregor.
“What are this guy’s accomplishments? Nobody gives a f**k about who this guy is.”
