Following his loss to Jake Paul, Mike Perry was publicly 'fired' by Conor McGregor from the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), though Perry disputed McGregor's authority due to his minority stake in BKFC. McGregor's tweet criticizing Perry and his newly formed 'Dirty Boxing' promotion quickly garnered attention, with Perry responding by mocking McGregor's recent injury and challenging him to fight Paul. Despite the public feud, Perry's significant role in BKFC and undefeated record in bare-knuckle boxing suggest he remains a key figure in the sport. Jake Paul and Michael Bisping also joined the fray, with Paul defending Perry and Bisping criticizing Paul's reckless callouts of larger fighters.
