Mike Perry revealed that Jake Paul’s trainer was upset with his Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury “script”.

Perry posted the fake “script” to social media indicating that Paul’s boxing match was illegitimate. The tweet created plenty of buzz on social media.

During an interview with TMZ Sports, Perry spoke about his tweet and how Paul’s team reacted to it. He said he got a message from Paul’s trainer, implying it was BJ Flores.

“It was an Instagram post my buddy sent me,” Perry admitted. “I tweeted it and I mean it’s probably my best tweet of all time…Jake [Paul’s] coach wrote me and was upset about his reputation and [how]he’s always had my back and spoke highly of me and that I’m a respected athlete in this fighting community.”

Mike Perry Believes His Tweet Was Funny

The 31-year-old went on to say Paul didn’t have respect for him. He referenced how Paul released sparring footage between the two in 2021. Perry would later call the script “hilarious” and “funny”.

Paul suffered the first defeat in his boxing career to Fury this past Sunday. Perry is confident that he can beat them both fighters.

Perry is scheduled to fight former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in a bare-knuckle boxing match at BKFC 41, president David Feldman announced on Wednesday.

Ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold pens deal with the BKFC, books debut fight against Mike Perry on April 29.

Former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold is reportedly slated to snap his recent retirement from combat sports – booking a reported BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) outing with fellow Octagon veteran, Mike Perry. Rockhold, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC and the now-defunct, Strikeforce, most recently featured at UFC […]

Rockhold, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC and the now-defunct, Strikeforce, most recently featured at UFC 278 back in August of last year, taking on one-time title challenger, Paulo Costa.

Suffering his third consecutive defeat following losses to both Yoel Romero and Jan Blachowicz, Rockhold dropped a competitive unanimous decision loss to Costa, before informing UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan of his intentions to retire from mixed martial arts with immediate effect. Luke Rockhold would then formally confirm his retirement from active competition to the UFC.

However, according to an initial report from both MyMMANews, and BJPENN.com reporter, Cole Shelton, Luke Rockhold has penned a deal with the David Feldman-led BKFC banner to make a return to combat sports – booking a subsequent fight with UFC welterweight alum, Perry to boot at the middleweight limit of 185lbs.

“Hearing that the big news BKFC will drop on (Ariel) Helwani is that Luke Rockhold has signed and will fight Mike Perry,” MyMMANews tweeted. “Not sure this is ahs the big shockwave value they are hoping for, but of course, I would watch.”

Luke Rockhold struck UFC gold back in 2015 in a win over Chris Weidman

A former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Rockhold struck division gold in the co-main event of UFC 194 back in 2015, stopping Chris Weidman with a slew of eventual fourth-round ground strikes.

As for Perry, the polarizing Michigan native has enjoyed a successful transition to BKFC since his UFC departure, debuting with a decision win over Julian Lane back in February of last year.

Headlining a London outing for the promotion in August of last year, Perry defeated Bellator MMa welterweight contender, Michael Page in a majority decision triumph.

BKFC founder, Feldman also confirmed during his appearance on The MMA Hour how former UFC featherweight title challenger, Chad Mendes would make his return on the same card in a fight against former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez — with the Philadelphia native making his first outing under the promotion’s banner at the super lightweight limit of 165lbs.

BKFC 41 takes place on April 29. from the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado.

Jake Paul has a backup plan should Tommy Fury pull out of their upcoming clash on February 26, 2023, and that backup plans name is Mike Perry, former UFC star and current BKFC talent.

Jake Paul has revealed that Mike Perry is the standby opponent ready to jump in and fight him on Feb 26th if Tommy Fury pulls out again.

— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) January 29, 2023

Paul announced the following in regards to his potential late replacement at the Beterbiev vs Yarde press conference:

“We have Mike Perry on standby. Let’s go, Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in in case Tommy pulls out.”

Paul hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to opponents making the walk, as Fury has withdrawn from both previous bookings against him, and he also lost his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr last year.

Paul was slated to fight Fury in both 2021 and 2022.

The second time Fury pulled out Paul ended up fighting former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their immediate rematch, and he was slated to face Rahman in August of last year, but ended up facing former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva a couple months later in October instead.

Both the Woodley rematch and Silva fights went well for him; his second fight with Woodley was relatively boring, but he was able to KO Woodley stiff this time, as the first time he won a split decision, and his fight with Silva was surprisingly an incredible back-and-forth war he won via unanimous decision.

But, events have been cancelled due to his opponents withdrawing from their scheduled bouts more than once, and this time he wants a backup so that doesn’t happen again.

Mike Perry is a great name for that second choice.

To fans, either Perry or Nate Diaz makes the most sense, and honestly, we thought we were past this point of Paul vs Fury.

However, Paul wants a boxer on his resume. He’s defeated three MMA world champions across four fights, Ben Askren (KO), Tyron Woodley twice (SD, KO), and Anderson Silva (UD), but the criticism seemingly never ends, as fans and combat athletes are always trashing his name for not fighting real boxers.

Well, he’s tried to, more than once. Fury is 8-0 as a professional boxer, and Rahman, a heavyweight mind you, was 12-1 as a professional.

Mike Perry opened up his MMA career with a record of 11-1 through his first 12 fights, all 11 wins via knockout.

Since then, he’d gone 3-7, bringing his record to 14-8.

However, though he’s 0-1 as a professional boxer, a fight that went down in 2015, since leaving the UFC, Perry has gone 3-0 in boxing matches. Two of which were bare knuckle bouts, and the other of which he defeated a 25-3 professional boxer where both men were wearing MMA gloves.

Do you think Tommy Fury shows up, or does Jake Paul end up facing Mike Perry next month in Saudi Arabia?
