I know narratives change over time, especially on sherdog.. but wasn't paulie butthurt about this whole thing cause they basically did him kinda dirty? Was supposed to be a sparring session, paulie clearly wasn't in good shape, and they basically brought him out and used him to gain a little credibility off Paulie.
Paulie just ended up handling it like the true douche he is, and because he was most likely trying to get as much publicity out of the situation as he could, which ended up making him look bad in the end.
Also, you don't record sparring session to "leak"to the public, I'd imagine they do record sometime in sparring to get a gauge on what they need to work on.
Pretty sure Berto and a few other guys turned down good money to train with Conor because it was well known how they did paulie. You don't fucking do that shit to your training partners.
Big douchery from both sides of the aisle imo.
