Check out Mike Perry brushing off Conor McGregor's claims (0:11):
The tension between Perry and McGregor was sudden and due entirely to 'Platinum's' brutal loss to Jake Paul in the pair's recent boxing match on July 20. While Perry's trademark toughness and heart were on full display, he was handed a lopsided beating before being TKO'd.
McGregor, who harbors an intense dislike for Paul, largely due to the latter's relentless trash talk of him, was beyond disappointed with Perry's performance. 'The Notorious' lambasted Perry's performance and claimed to have fired him from the BKFC. While the 33-year-old contested McGregor's statements, it led to an ugly chapter in their relationship.
The pair were previously on good terms, with Perry even once expressing admiration for McGregor as far back as his UFC days. When he signed with the BKFC, the two men took part in an impromptu face-off as per Perry's request after the latter's TKO win over former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold at BKFC 41.
Now, however, their dynamic couldn't be more different.
Mike Perry hasn't fought since Conor McGregor's claims
While Mike Perry brushed off Conor McGregor's claims of terminating his BKFC contract, 'Platinum' has not fought since. He is likely taking time off from fighting due to the damage he suffered against Jake Paul. But their bout took place back in July, and he previously fought under the BKFC banner in April.
Whether he will be booked for a matchup at some later point remains to be seen, as McGregor has stood firm on his alleged firing of Perry.
