The pair had to be pulled apart as tempers nearly boiled over, after Malignaggi taunted McGregor by asking:“Did you bring your b**ls Conor?”McGregor replied:“What you saying? It’s over, get over it – you got your a** whooped.

”Malignaggi was restrained by a member of security, but continued to hurl insults towards McGregor, shouting:“make sure you bring your b**ls Saturday p***y.

”McGregor then got into a heated exchange with Mayweather and his entourage in a separate video.

The video showed McGregor approaching the stage as Mayweather was leaving it and the two then squared off.When asked about the incident, McGregor said:“We were supposed to have a face-off and then there was no face off and there was a little pushing and shoving. 

The usual handbags. There were so many people around.”
