JUST IN: Conor McGregor Criticizes Jake Paul Ahead of Mike Perry Fight

Jake Paul is set to face off against Mike Perry this weekend, and Conor McGregor hasn’t held back his disdain for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

The former UFC champion, McGregor, called Paul a “little dweeb” while showing his support for Perry in the upcoming bout.

With Mike Tyson’s anticipated fight against Paul postponed due to Tyson’s health issues, the spotlight now falls on Paul versus Perry in Florida. McGregor, who has recently invested in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) as a co-owner, threw his weight behind Perry, praising his rise in the sport. At a BKFC press conference, McGregor lauded Perry, known as the “King of Violence,” for his impressive journey and emphasized that Perry is facing a less formidable opponent in Paul. McGregor confidently expressed his hope for Perry’s victory, emphasizing the authenticity of the sport.

Jake Paul, who has created a name for himself as the “Problem Child,” has trained rigorously for his return to the ring. Despite his controversial reputation, Paul continues to attract significant attention. This fight in Florida marks an important milestone in his boxing career, especially given his past achievements and current training base in Puerto Rico.

McGregor’s support for Perry extended to social media, where he shared a clip from Perry and Paul’s face-off, highlighting his enthusiasm for BKFC. In a direct jab at the Professional Fighters League (PFL), where Paul has investments, McGregor expressed his belief that BKFC offers a superior platform for fighters looking to elevate their careers. He emphasized that BKFC provides unparalleled opportunities for fighters to achieve superstardom, respect, and financial rewards.

McGregor concluded his remarks by asserting BKFC’s dominance in the combat sports world, positioning it as a unique and leading organization in its field. He acknowledged the UFC’s top position in mixed martial arts but insisted that BKFC stands unrivaled in its own category, offering a distinct and complementary experience for both fighters and fans.

As the weekend approaches, all eyes will be on Paul and Perry, with McGregor’s bold statements adding to the anticipation of the bout.
