“They Won’t Allow It”: Fans in Splits As BKFC Star Presents the Idea of Facing Khamzat Chimaev’s Teammate After Offering to Be a Backup for Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul Fight

The stage is set! Jake Paul, after experiencing his first defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury, seeks redemption in an upcoming battle against the seasoned MMA veteran Nate Diaz. Paul lost to Fury via a split decision. Adding fuel to the fire, a BKFC star, known for his ‘big mouth’ has recently claimed that he’d be the ‘backup fighter’ for this fight if Jake Paul didn’t show up.

But it seemed rather ironical as to why there would be a ‘backup’ for Jake, when it was Diaz, who left the UFC spotlight back in 2022, and has not competed ever since. Even Conor McGregor, his former rival, had, in the past, expressed his desire to engage in a third fight with Diaz. Nonetheless, Diaz appears ready to confront ‘The Problem Child’ on August 5th before returning to the MMA arena.

Perry’s Bold Proposal: A backup fighter for Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul

BKFC sensation Mike Perry recently sparked excitement among fans with a bold proposal. Taking to Twitter, Perry suggested,

“I should be the backup fighter in case @jakepaul doesn’t show up to fight @NateDiaz209.”

The idea quickly gained traction, with fans expressing their thoughts on social media. Amidst the buzz, Perry also shared an Instagram story featuring a photo alongside Darren Till, who happens to be a teammate of Khamzat Chimaev. The caption on the story further fueled the anticipation, stating,

“Perry as backup for Diaz vs Paul is a great idea. Another awesome idea for @bareknucleufc to book Mike Perry vs Darren Till asap.”

It seemed as if there was a hint at another fight in the making if Perry does not want to prove to be ‘just a backup.’ Since the duo have been ‘frenemies’ for a while now, this may well just be another dig at Till, but nothing can be said for certain right now. Even if these two frenemies do get a chance to duke it out, it surely wouldn’t be cute.

Fans react: Hilarity ensues as BKFC star shares an ambitious idea

Perry’s proposal had certainly stirred up the MMA community, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the outcome. Fans couldn’t help but share their reactions to Perry’s proposal.

One witty commenter joked,

“You couldn’t back up your iPhone, you c*nt.”

Another enthusiastic supporter chimed in,

“I agree… go on Perry lad!!!”

It seems many fans believe in Perry’s potential as a worthy replacement. Recognizing Perry’s formidable skills, one fan noted,

“That’s a scary dangerous replacement. Platinum has some haaaands.”

The thought of a matchup between Perry and Diaz also intrigued fans, with one declaring,

“Man, you vs Nate in BKFC would be f**king crazy!”

Meanwhile, another fan expressed confidence in Perry’s chances, stating,

“Nate is not a boxer, I might win against Nate.”

Amidst the excitement, fans didn’t miss the playful banter between Perry and Till. One fan playfully teased,

“You love him, stop flirting, brother haha.”

However, some fans remained skeptical about the likelihood of Perry facing both Diaz and Till, commenting, “You beat both badly. They won’t allow it.”

Whether the fight materializes or not, the idea seems pretty exciting to a lot of fans and critics. Perry stepping in as a backup fighter to Paul vs Diaz fight or potentially facing Chimaev’s teammate- both prospects have taken fans by storm, showcasing their enthusiasm for action-packed matchups and unexpected possibilities.
