Combat sports rivalries don’t always stay confined to the ring or cage. Sometimes the beef spills over into press conferences, social media wars, and heated interviews. These feuds can simmer for years, with both sides taking shots whenever the opportunity presents itself. The best rivalries never truly die; they just wait for the next chance to reignite.<\/p>

Paulie Malignaggi knows a thing or two about keeping rivalries alive and stirring controversy. The former boxing champion has never been one to hold back his opinions about anything. Recently, he decided to take aim at an entire MMA<\/a> fanbase rather than just individual fighters. And he didn’t pull any punches with his latest comments.<\/p>

Paulie Malignaggi Goes Nuclear On MMA Fanbase<\/h2>

During a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show,<\/strong> boxing legend Paulie Malignaggi mocked MMA fans in brutal fashion, calling them unintelligent repeatedly. Conor McGregor’s fierce rival didn’t just make a passing comment either. He went on an extended rant explaining exactly why he believes MMA fans lack intelligence compared to boxing fans. The boxing legend argued that MMA fans are too stupid to demand cross-promotion fights between different organizations.<\/p>

Malignaggi used boxing as his example of how things should work. He pointed out that boxing fans want to see champions from different promotions fight each other to determine who’s truly the best. Why wouldn’t MMA fans demand to see the UFC champion fight the PFL champion or ONE Championship champion at the same weight class? According to Paulie, it’s because the fanbase doesn’t possess the intelligence to realize such matchups are even possible.<\/p>

“If a fan had any level of intelligence past the point of being ret***ed, they would say ‘Wow, I want to watch the fighter who is the champion at one promotion against the other champion who is in the same weight’.…[MMA fans] don’t ask for it, because they’re too stupid to know it’s possible. They don’t want to see the PFL champion, or ONE champion, against the UFC champion. Why wouldn’t you want to see who the best in the world is?”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
