Conor McGregor was one of the unhappiest of people in the combat world when Jake Paul defeated [read humbled] Mike Perry, a bare-knuckle contender from the BKFC where ‘The Notorious’ is a part owner. At the Amalie Arena in Tampa, while Paul risked his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson, the ex-UFC fighter, Perry had the BKFC’s reputation on the line. So, after Perry lost, an infuriated McGregor branded Jake Paul “the biggest p*ssbag“. Of course, ‘The Problem Child’ had to respond to the former UFC champ!
In the past, observing McGregor’s love for boxing, Jake Paul had called out ‘The Notorious’. And as Conor delayed a response to Paul, ‘The Problem Child’ claimed McGregor was deficient in head movement which led the Irishman to call Jake a “jacka*ss“.
Now, in the wake of Paul vs. Perry, besides firing ‘Platinum’ for the disgrace he has brought to the BKFC, McGregor badmouthed Jake Paul as well. In addition, to accusing Paul of “juicing”, McGregor sharply disapproved of Paul “calling out 60-year-old Mike Tyson.”In his criticism of Jake Paul, he said, “Most valuable p*ssbag.” In his response, Paul, on his podcast, claimed that at the time Conor ranted on X, he was “drunk” and doing “coc**ne on a yacht“.

For McGregor, Mike Perry being on his knees in front of Jake Paul is nothing short of the BKFC getting dominated by MVP. So, Jake understands why McGregor is “pissed.” “Thank you angry c*kehead. I mean the guy’s on Twitter, the guy’s on yachts, the guy’s on cocaine. But, he’s not in the ring winning fights like me,” Jake Paul responded.
Along these lines, ‘The Problem Child’ even weighed in on the freedom Conor McGregor has lost to the UFC.

“I’ve said it since a long time ago. Conor McGregor is owned by Dana White. He probably can’t get out of his contract. But, that’s what he’ll hide behind because he’s not going to get in there,” Paul concluded.
