Jake Paul added another name to his record, putting away Mike Perry in their bout from Tampa, Florida.

In what seemed to be a flashback to his fight with Nate Diaz, Paul got off to a hot start by dropping the former UFC fighter-turned-BKFC star with a clubbing blow in the opening couple of minutes.

Paul continued to land at will, with Perry unable to trap “The Problem Child” at all. “Platinum” landed strong shots in the second round, but he was dropped again courtesy of a right hook from Paul and was rocked later in the frame.

Perry walked Paul down during the second and third rounds, trying to showcase a strong chin. He busted the ex-Disney star open in the middle of the third round and looked to continue his pressure. But Paul wobbled Perry again in the fourth.

Perry was still wobbly but recovering as he continued to fight and try to walk Paul down, rather than pause for recovery. A flurry of punches stumbled “Perry “Platinum” back into a corner, but the MMA veteran ultimately survived the round in spite of being caught with a right hand at the bell.

With the fight looking like it could come to an end at any moment, Perry was knocked down again in the sixth round. Perry got to his feet but stumbled, and the referee waved the contest off.

This date was the original plan for Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson in Texas, which will now take place on November 15.

Since his sole loss to Tommy Fury, “The Problem Child” has scored a unanimous decision win over Diaz and back-to-back stoppages of Andre August and Ryan Bourland, in addition to his latest triumph on Saturday night.

Since leaving the UFC in 2021, meanwhile, Perry has been dominant in BKFC, with wins over Julian Lane, Michael “Venom” Page, Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez and Thiago Alves. Perry’s finish of Alvarez at BKFC 56 in December won him the promotion’s “King of Violence” title.

Perry had only competed in pro boxing once prior to tonight, losing a March 2015 bout to Kenneth McNeil.

Jake Paul def. Mike Perry

YouTube sensation Jake Paul returned to the squared circle on Saturday night for a clash with the BKFC’s undisputed ‘King of Violence’ Mike Perry.

Originally scheduled to square off with former unified heavyweight world champion ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, ‘The Problem Child’ made his 11th walk to the ring for a showdown with ‘Platinum’ inside Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

It didn’t take long for Jake Paul to put his power on display, dropping Perry in the opening minute with a clubbing right hand. the YouTube star uncorked another big overhand right in round two, sending ‘Platinum’ crashing to the canvas for the second time in as many rounds.

Just went it appeared to be all but over for the BKFC star, Mike Perry came firing back with some solid blows. Unfortunately, Perry neglected to play any kind of defense, allowing Paul to pour on the damage. Things finally came crashing down for the ‘King of Violence’ in round six when Paul landed a stiff left hand that had Perry on wobbly legs. Smelling blood in the water, Paul delivered a barrage of strikes that eventually led to Perry hitting the canvas for the third time.

‘Platinum’ climbed back to his feet, but the referee didn’t like was he saw, forcing him to call for the stoppage a little more than a minute into the round.

Official Result: Jake Paul def. Mike Perry via TKO at 1:12 of Round 6.

Immediately following the fight, Paul called out UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, challenging the two-division titleholder to step into his world.

Jake Paul and Mike Perry finally clashed in the boxing ring on July 20 in Tampa, Florida. MMA News has the results and highlights here!

Boxing fans witnessed another dominant performance from Paul as he stepped back into the ring to take on Perry, the leading star in bare-knuckle boxing. The event occurred at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Paul was initially set to face Mike Tyson, but the fight was postponed due to the heavyweight legend’s illness. “Platinum” Perry came in on a month’s notice in an attempt to stun the boxing world by defeating the polarizing ex-Disney star and getting the biggest win of his combat sports career to date. However, Paul proved to be too much for his opponent to handle.

“The Problem Child” controlled the fight with his jab and an overhand right to stun Perry several times. Although the bare-knuckle champion showcased incredible toughness, Paul achieved a TKO victory in the sixth round. After the fight, Paul shared that he plans to knock out Tyson later this year and wants to fight UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira in boxing.

Elsewhere on the card, former UFC middleweight Uriah Hall faced Julio César Chávez Jr. in a cruiserweight contest to kick off the main card. The fight went the distance, with judges believing that Chávez Jr. did enough to win by unanimous decision.

5 Opponents We’d Love To See Conor McGregor Take On In BKFC

Conor McGregor has been back in the headlines this week as he hosted his first press conference as part-owner of BKFC ahead of the company’s scheduled event in Marbella, Spain later this year.

Conor McGregor has been back in the headlines this week as he hosted his first press conference as part-owner of BKFC ahead of the company’s scheduled event in Marbella, Spain later this year.

The former UFC two-weight world champion was scheduled to fight in the Octagon for the first time in three years at UFC 303 recently, but a foot injury put paid to those plans. Speaking at the BKFC press conference, the Irishman revealed that he only has two fights left on his current contract with the UFC and said that he has ambitions to test the waters inside the bareknuckle ring once those commitments are fulfilled.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at five intriguing options we would love to see “The Notorious” face in BKFC.

Nate Diaz

The rivalry between McGregor and Diaz has simply refused to go away ever since the pair first met inside the Octagon at UFC 196 back in 2016. Diaz took the fight on short notice as a replacement for McGregor’s original opponent Rafael Dos Anjos and shocked the world by handing the then-featherweight champion his first defeat in the UFC.

McGregor won an immediate rematch via majority decision just five months later and it seemed it would only be a matter of time before the pair would square off again. The rubber match never came, however, and Diaz fought out his UFC contract, finishing up with a submission victory over Tony Ferguson in September of 2022.

Since leaving the promotion, Diaz has pivoted to the world of boxing, where he has been defeated by Jake Paul and picked up a win over former UFC rival Jorge Masvidal, although he is now embroiled in a legal battle as he still hasn’t been paid for that fight.

Should McGregor fight out his UFC contract and join Diaz as a free agent, it’s likely the pair would become the hottest ticket in combat sports.

Mike Perry

The current BKFC middleweight champion and the face of the promotion. Perry’s career since leaving the UFC back in 2021 has gone from strength to strength, as he has won all five of his fights inside the squared circle and become the biggest name in the world of bareknuckle fighting.

“Platinum” has taken out a list of former UFC fighters under the BKFC banner such as Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez and Thiago Alves. He has become the highest paid fighter in the promotion and will fight Jake Paul in a lucrative crossover boxing bout this Saturday night in Tampa, Florida.

Although he failed to enter the title picture during his career inside the Octagon, Perry is now regarded as one of the biggest draws in combat sports outside the UFC.

Jorge Masvidal

“Gamebred” was a mainstay in the UFC’s lightweight and welterweight divisions between 2013-2023. He twice fought for the 170lb title against Kamaru Usman but was unsuccessful both times. After leaving the UFC (and temporarily retiring) in 2023 he recently made his first foray into the world of boxing when he faced Nate Diaz.

Although the event was a commercial failure and Masvidal lost a close decision to Diaz, he is rumoured to be planning to pursue some more fights inside the ring going forward. McGregor also revealed on social media that he won $1.625 million after placing a bet on Diaz to beat Masvidal.

Paulie Malignaggi

This one could be considered a long shot, but “Magic Man” and “The Notorious” certainly shared one of the most interesting beefs in the recent history of combat sports.

McGregor invited the former IBF and WBA welterweight boxing champion into his camp as a sparring partner in the lead up to his infamous boxing match against Floyd “Money” Mayweather back in 2017. After sharing multiple clips of McGregor knocking down Malignaggi during the workouts all over social media, tensions between the pair spiralled and rumors circulated that they would meet in a boxing match further down the line.

Although that fight never happened, Malignaggi did face McGregor’s former training partner and close friend Artem Lobov in a bareknuckle fight back in 2019 at BKFC 6, surprisingly losing by unanimous decision to the former UFC featherweight.

Malignaggi has carved out a career as a boxing commentator and analyst and has worked on BKFC events since his retirement from fighting. At 42-years-old, could we see him tempted into one more fight with his old rival?

Khabib Nurmagomedov

Could it be? Could the stars possibly be aligning for one of the most heated rivalries in the history of the UFC to be rekindled?

After Nurmagomedov conclusively beat “The Notorious” at UFC 229 back in 2018 to claim the UFC lightweight championship, the Irishman campaigned tirelessly for a rematch. His disappointment at Khabib announcing his retirement just two years later was captured on camera during the filming of his documentary McGregor Forever, and the Dubliner has never missed an opportunity to berate Nurmagomedov when given the chance in the years that have passed.

Now that Khabib has seemingly fallen upon hard times and into some hot water with the Russian tax authorities, could we see him backed into a corner and forced into accepting a big-money payday to face his old rival once again?
