Noting it was his first time fighting in Vegas, Malignaggi plans to use the City's nick name as inspiration. "This will be my first fight in Las Vegas, which makes it all the more exciting. Las Vegas' nickname is the 'City of Lights,' so it is only fitting that on Nov. 22, 'The Magic Man' will be lighting 'The Hitman' up all over the MGM Grand Garden Arena," said Malignaggi.
