Jake Paul reacts to Conor McGregor firing Mike Perry from BKFC after loss: "That's f*cked up"
Jake Paul recently expressed his thoughts on Conor McGregor firing Mike Perry from BKFC following his loss to Paul. This happened after McGregor harshly criticized the two following their boxing match last weekend.
Paul's most recent boxing match versus Perry took place this past Saturday night at the sold-out Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship superstar was unable to stop 'The Problem Child', as the latter repeatedly knocked him down and eventually secured a sixth-round knockout to improve his professional record to 10-1.
In recent years, Perry has become well-known as the face of bare-knuckle fighting, while McGregor has purchased a stake in BKFC. The Irishman is excited about the emergence of bare-knuckle fighting, hailing it as the 'purest' form of combat sports.
As a result, McGregor was not pleased with Perry losing to Paul. In response to the fight's outcome, he claimed that 'Platinum' had been fired and voiced his dissatisfaction with Perry for his poor performance. He took to X and wrote:
"Hey, Mike [Perry] you're released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired. @bareknucklefc."
Following his impressive performance, Paul was questioned about McGregor's decision to fire Perry during the post-fight news conference. The 27-year-old was amused by the news and said:
''Hey, that's f*cked up. They fired him [Perry], your BKFC champion. I told you that was gonna happen, I told you exactly what was gonna happen. He was big upping his boy Mike Perry. I said, 'OK Conor, after I f*ck up Mike Perry, then you're next'.''

Mike Perry responds to claims of Conor McGregor firing him from BKFC
Conor McGregor, who recently became a co-owner of Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC), has attempted to terminate Mike Perry following his knockout loss to Jake Paul.
During the post-fight press conference, Perry learned that he had been sacked from BKFC by 'The Notorious'. He replied:
"He doesn't have a promotion, 'cause me and him are both owners of the BKFC. So he can't fire me. We can fight in bare knuckle, look at me. I lost to Jake Paul. Why don't you go fight Jake Paul and box him with gloves on, I think it would be worse than McGregor vs. Mayweather."
