Jake Paul and Mike Perry recently weighed in on Conor McGregor’s tweet about potentially firing “Platinum” from BKFC.
Perry squared off against “The Problem Child” in a 10-round cruiserweight boxing match last Saturday at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Despite his efforts, the former UFC welterweight fighter endured three knockdowns and ultimately succumbed to a sixth-round TKO.
To compound Perry’s misfortune, BKFC part-owner “The Notorious” swiftly took to X to declare, “You’re fired,” seemingly ousting Perry from the bare-knuckle promotion. He didn’t stop there, going on to mock Perry’s newly launched hybrid boxing venture, Dirty Boxing Championship, with biting remarks.
However, at the post-fight press conference, “Platinum” dismissed McGregor’s claims, asserting that the former two-division UFC champion can’t simply fire him, as he, too, holds part ownership in BKFC.
Perry Insists McGregor’s Statements Are Just For Attention
During a recent appearance on BS w/ Jake Paul, “Platinum” addressed McGregor’s apparent attempt to fire him from BKFC. Perry dismissed the notion, suggesting that the Irishman is just stirring the pot for attention. He emphasized that the fans want to see him fight in BKFC.
“The Problem Child” agreed with Perry’s assertions and vehemently criticized McGregor for swiftly turning his back on BKFC’s undefeated star.
Perry has experienced tremendous success since departing from the UFC in April 2021 and has risen to become the biggest star in BKFC. He boasts an undefeated 5-0 record, with victories over high-profile fighters such as Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez, and Michael “Venom” Page.
