- UFC. UFC Burns vs. Brady: Date, time, where to watch and more on the UFC Fight Night
Conor McGregor is back at it again, stirring up drama in the fight world, this time with his alleged "firing" of BKFC star Mike Perry. The UFC legend, known for his brash attitude both in and out of the octagon, threw some serious shade at Perry, sparking a social media frenzy. Fans can't get enough of the back-and-forth between the two fighters, and McGregor's latest move just cranked the heat up another notch.
It all kicked off after a fan asked McGregor about Perry's status with BKFC. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, McGregor dropped a cryptic response: "See him since?" That single line sent fans into a frenzy, as many took it to mean that Perry's days with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship might be numbered. But was the Irishman serious, or just playing his usual mind games?
Rumors started swirling that McGregor, who holds partial ownership in BKFC, had actually axed Perry from the promotion. The timing of McGregor's comments couldn't have been more perfect-Perry had just lost to YouTube sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a brutal sixth-round TKO. The loss had already put Perry in the spotlight, and McGregor's jab added fuel to the fire.
However, Perry didn't take McGregor's alleged firing lying down. During a post-fight press conference, Perry made it clear he wasn't going anywhere, clapping back at McGregor with some serious heat. "He doesn't f-king have a promotion. Me and him are both owners of BKFC, so he can't fire me," Perry declared, setting the record straight.
Perry calls out McGregor: "Fight Jake Paul if you dare"
Perry didn't stop there. The former UFC fighter turned bare-knuckle brawler took a swipe at McGregor's lack of action in the ring. "Why don't you go fight Jake Paul in boxing with gloves on?" Perry challenged. That's right-Perry didn't just shrug off McGregor's comments; he threw down the gauntlet, daring the Irishman to step up.
McGregor, who has always prided himself on being the top dog in the fight game, may have underestimated Perry's fiery response. While the "Notorious" one tried to flex his power, it's clear that Perry wasn't having it. Fans are now eagerly watching to see if McGregor will take Perry's bait or continue with his usual social media antics.
Whether or not McGregor truly has the power to fire Perry remains a mystery, but one thing's for sure: Perry isn't backing down. The battle of words between the two fighters has everyone buzzing, with many wondering if this will lead to an actual showdown in the ring.
For now, fans are left wondering what's next. Will McGregor and Perry settle their beef in a bare-knuckle brawl, or is this just another case of McGregor fanning the flames for attention? Either way, the drama between these two has the fight world on edge.
