Mike Perry isn’t bothered by Conor McGregor’s recent comments about “firing” him from the BKFC but he made sure to fire back at the Irishman! ‘Platinum’, a former UFC star transitioned to the ‘Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’ where he is currently undefeated and holds the title of the ‘King of Violence’. Perry faced off against Jake Paul in a boxing match when Mike Tyson, ‘The Problem Child’s original opponent for July 20, withdrew from the bout because of health complications.

While Perry did showcase his toughness and incredible chin in the fight, he was ultimately stopped by Paul in the later half of the 8-round contest. So, what did Mike Perry have to say in response to Conor McGregor’s scathing criticism of his performance?

Mike Perry shuts down Conor McGregor with a startling response

Conor McGregor sent shockwaves through the combat sports world when he announced during the BKFC Knucklemania 4 Card, “Ladies and gentlemen, the huge announcement that I have for you today, Conor McGregor myself and McGregor Sports and Entertainment is now an owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships.”

So, when Mike Perry devastatingly lost to Jake Paul, McGregor took to social media to highlight his frustration with ‘Platinum’. In a post made on X, the Irishman fired a salvo against Perry as he stated, “Hey Mike youre released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired.”

However, Perry wasn’t about to take McGregor’s comments lying down. During the post-fight press conference, ‘Platinum’ was asked to share his thoughts on the Irishman’s comments and he made a stunning revelation! “He doesn’t f**king have a promotion coz me and him are both owners of BKFC so he can’t fire me.”, Perry confessed.

Perry also took his shots at McGregor as he went on to state, “You know, I lost to Jake Paul, why don’t you go fight Jake Paul in boxing with the gloves on. I think it’ll be worse than Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather.” The Irish MMA icon had faced off against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a cross-over event in 2017 where McGregor was stopped via TKO in the tenth round by the legendary ‘Money’ Mayweather.

It remains to be seen how the saga between Perry and McGregor turns out next, but Jake Paul, the other half of the bout against Perry, has now set his sights on a dangerous UFC star.

Jake Paul riding high on Perry’s knockout calls out ‘Poatan’

Alex Pereira has cemented his place as one of the most lethal knockout artists to ever step foot inside the Octagon! Carrying over his famed left hook from the world of kickboxing to MMA, the current UFC light heavyweight champion received an interesting proposition from boxer, Anthony Joshua. In a social media exchange, Joshua indicated that he’d be interested in seeing ‘Poatan’ step inside the squared circle.

While Pereira stated that he was “honored” by the compliment, he revealed that, “I’m 37 I cannot make a career in it so who do you recommend I fight?”.  As such, after his win over Mike Perry, Jake Paul shifted his focus over to Pereira as he stated, “Alex Pereira, you said you want to box, I’m the king of this, come over, we can make it happen, I want you Alex Pereira … I just beat a BKFC champion, I’ve beat multiple UFC champions, and he said he wants to box, so Alex Pereira, after Mike Tyson, let’s make it happen.”

This bold call-out didn’t go unanswered. Shortly after Paul’s challenge, he showed off a FaceTime call with Pereira. The UFC star himself reached out, potentially signaling interest in a future bout. Could a boxing match against ‘Poatan’ become a reality for ‘The Problem Child’? And will he be able to survive against the Brazilian? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
