Former UFC welterweight, Mike Perry shared images of a supposed contract offered to him by Jake Paul.

Paul, who last fought Anderson Silva, winning in an impressive display, is seemingly never far from being called out by some of combat sports’ most notable names.

Perry would take to Twitter to share screenshots of an alleged contract, claiming he had signed it but Paul had backed out.

Perry would also claim that Paul backed out of the fight after changing his mind:

Mike Perry’s boxing career

Since his departure from the UFC, Perry has enjoyed a successful transition into boxing, both gloved and bare-knuckle. Perry first took on 27-3 professional boxer Mike Seals, who shared the ring with the likes of Edwin Rodriguez and Eleider Alvarez during his time as a light-heavyweight.

The bout, which was a mixed rules contest put on by Triller, would be awarded to Perry after seven rounds. Perry would then move on to BKFC, debuting in bare-knuckle and taking on former Ultimate Fighter contestant, Julian Lane. The fight would go as someone would expect a bare-knuckle fight involving Perry to go, producing a bloody, exciting affair in which Perry would drop Lane to earn the judge’s decision.

Perry has found his niche and would be rewarded with one of the biggest bare-knuckle fights in BKFC history. ‘Platinum’ would be matched up with Bellator’s Michael ‘Venom’ Page, in what would be a fight that no one knew they needed.

Perry, who was the underdog heading into the bout, would again put on a show and take his post-UFC career to 3-0 following another entertaining contest.

Former UFC welterweight Mike Perry has challenged the recently retired Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone to a boxing match.

Perry and Cerrone previously faced off at UFC Fight Night 139: Korean Zombie vs. Rodriguez, a classic event that featured one of the greatest KO’s of all time in the main event. However, in the co-main, Donald Cerrone would submit Mike Perry with a crippling belly down armbar, leaving fans with this iconic image:

Since then, both men have departed the promotion. Mike Perry had found himself on a two-fight losing streak, coming up short against Tim Means and Daniel Rodriguez. Instead of continuing with MMA, ‘Platinum’ Perry would in a custom rules boxing match vs. Michael Seals at Triad Combat 1. Since then, he has switched over to bare-knuckle boxing, picking up back-to-back victories over Julian Lane and Michael Page.

Donald Cerrone would remain with the UFC for a year later than Perry. However, after going seven fights without a win, he made the decision to hang up the gloves (and the hat).

With both men now free from their UFC contracts, Mike Perry has suggested they run it back, this time in the squared circle. He stated the following on Twitter: “If you’re looking to box @Cowboycerrone I’m up for my rematch. . .”

‘Cowboy’ is yet to respond, although he did recently indicate that he’d be open to a boxing match with Jake Paul. He also recently confessed to using steroids now that he is free of regular USADA checks.

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.

“I think it’s just, you know, he does that. He tweets and he gets people to attach to something, whatever he says,” Perry said. “He knows that we had that moment that night in history and it was what people were talking about, so he’s like, let me say something about it and talk sh*t about it and be his normal witty self. He said something that got people to tune into it because he’s like, oh, now Mike’s released from bare-knuckle. But let’s be honest, everybody wants to see me fight bare-knuckle again.”

“The Problem Child” agreed with Perry’s assertions and vehemently criticized McGregor for swiftly turning his back on BKFC’s undefeated star.

“I saw everyone being like ‘Yeah, Mike Perry is the BKFC,’ which is true,” Paul said. “I think it’s f*ked up of him to be like dck riding you all week, like ‘Look what the BKFC has done for Mike and he’s our biggest star,’ and then all of a sudden he throws you under the bus like that.”

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.

Caolan Loughran Says Jake Hadley Is A Perfect Replacement Opponent At UFC 304

Just one week out from UFC 304 this Saturday, Ireland’s Caolan Loughran had his fight and opponent switched around on short notice.

Loughran was announced to be fighting UFC flyweight contender Jake Hadley after his previous opponent Ramon Taveras was declared injured and unable to make July 27.

Though having a chance of opponents one week out from fight night is never ideal, “The Don” is very happy with his new fight.

As well as the fact that he had been preparing to fight a southpaw which both Hadley and Taveras are, this England vs Ireland fight between two former Cage Warriors champions is sure to get the Manchester fans excited.

Loughran spoke in an interview with Violent Money TV about how this fight ended up working out pretty well in his favour after all.

“I was like f*** me, unbelievable. That’s a bigger fight domestically, going to have more buzz. He’s also a southpaw as we were preparing for. F****** let’s go, let’s do it, that’s what I was thinking.

I actually get on alright with Hadley. Fair f****** respect to him for taking the fight, I didn’t have a fight there for like a day and I don’t know what the f*** was going on. I wanted to be on this card so fighters fight innit, fair f****** play to him but like I say, I half get on with the guy but I don’t need beef this time. This fight is going to be big anyway.”    

Jake Paul Shares Comparison Photo Of Mike Perry’s Custom Chain After Stopping Him

Jake Paul added to his current winning streak this past weekend when he stopped Mike Perry in the sixth round where his size and power was simply too much for the ‘King of Violence’.

After the fight, “Platinum” tipped his hat to his opponent, putting out the following message on social media to show his appreciation to the fans for their support.

“Congrats @jakepaul , shout out to @NateDiaz209 who went 10 rounds with him. Thanks to everyone who came out.”

Paul, on the other hand, was not so humble in victory as he chose to readdress a certain aspect of the build to the fight.

Perry had worn a custom chain of Paul’s head with blood and bruises all over his face which “The Problem Child” shared after the bout next to a photo of Perry’s face being in a similar position.

VIDEO: Cody Durden Shows Himself Getting Substantial Stitches After Ruthless Loss To Bruno Silva

Cody Durden gave fight fans a glimpse into what happens once a fighter exits the Octagon following his loss this past weekend at the Apex.

Durden was stopped in the second round following a devastating uppercut from Bruno Silva which was followed up on until referee Chris Tognoni waved the fight off.

The flyweight contender was left wearing some significant damage on his face as a result and decided to shine a spotlight on a side to the game that many don’t see.

Posting on X, Durden shared a video of himself getting stitches from medical personnel during his post-fight medical.

Mike Perry Responds To Conor McGregor Proclaiming He’s ‘Fired’ From BKFC After Jake Paul Loss

Conor McGregor may be among those who took Perry’s knockout loss to Jake Paul the roughest, publicly trashing both men before and claiming that “Platinum” will be released by the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

McGregor, who became a part-owner of BKFC a couple of months ago, fired off the posts on X (formerly Twitter) moments following Perry being stopped by Paul in their headlining boxing match at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday night.

Perry was dropped twice in the opening two rounds, and while he tried to walk through Paul’s punches and walk the ex-Disney star down, Paul’s power and technical skills were just too much.

After getting dropped in the sixth round, Perry made it back to his feet but stumbled, forcing the referee to wave off the fight.

Perry Hits Back AT BKFC Part-Owner McGregor: ‘He Can’t Fire Me!’

Perry was asked about McGregor’s actions during his post-fight press conference. He claimed the Irishman has no power to release him. Perry even offered to settle the differences in the BKFC ring.

“Me and him are both co-owners of BKFC,” Perry said. “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 in boxing with gloves on? I think it would be worse than Conor McGregor vs. [Floyd] Mayweather.”

McGregor’s post made reference to Perry announcing the formation of Dirty Boxing Championship, a promotion that will mix in boxing and ground-and-pound mechanics.

Perry is BKFC’s “King of Violence” and has amassed a 5-0 record in the organization since coming over from the UFC in 2021.

McGregor’s return to the UFC is still to be determined, meanwhile, after a planned comeback against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 was scrapped. The current rumor is the bout will be rebooked for UFC 310 in December.
