That’s former IBO and IBF welterweight champion Chris van Heerden, who had a similar experience with the UFC’s lightweight champion last summer. Unlike Malignaggi, who was hired to help McGregor prepare for a boxing showdown with undefeated Floyd Mayweather , van Heerden volunteered to help the Irishman for his UFC 202 rematch with Nate Diaz. What happened after that, though, is quite similar. Like Malignaggi, who’s been making the rounds in the media after unflattering footage of his training sessions with the McGregor were released, van Heerden had videos of an encounter with McGregor made public.
