Conor McGregor Attempts to Fire Mike Perry from BKFC after Loss to Jake Paul
In a dramatic twist following his loss to Jake Paul, Mike Perry finds himself embroiled in a social media feud with none other than Conor McGregor. Perry’s defeat came by way of a sixth-round stoppage, a result that clearly irked the ever-outspoken McGregor. Wasting no time, McGregor took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, stating: "Hey Mike, 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."
The tweet quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans and fighters alike. The bold proclamation from McGregor suggested he had the authority to dismiss Perry from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), a claim that Perry was quick to refute.
During the post-fight press conference, Perry responded to McGregor’s tweet with his characteristic bravado: "He doesn't f***ing have a promotion. Because me and him are both owners of BKFC, so he can't fire me," Perry declared. "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 the gloves on? I think it would be worse than Conor McGregor vs. Mayweather."
Perry's response highlighted the complex relationship between the two fighters and their shared stake in BKFC. Despite McGregor's dismissive tweet, Perry reminded everyone that McGregor's influence only goes so far and challenged McGregor to back up his words with action.
This clash between two of the sport's most notorious personalities has only added fuel to the fire in the ongoing debate about the future of both traditional and bare-knuckle boxing. Perry's challenge to McGregor to face Jake Paul in a conventional boxing match also threw down a gauntlet that fans and analysts are eager to see accepted.
The entire episode underscores the volatility and drama that has come to define modern combat sports, where social media spats and personal rivalries can often overshadow the events inside the ring. As the dust settles on Perry's loss and McGregor's incendiary tweet, one thing is clear: the spectacle is far from over.
Fans of BKFC and combat sports enthusiasts will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how this latest chapter in the McGregor-Perry saga unfolds. Will McGregor step into the ring with Jake Paul, or will Perry and McGregor settle their differences in the BKFC ring? Only time will tell, but the drama is sure to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
