Jake Paul took home the victory against BKFC superstar Mike Perry via TKO in an eight-round cruiserweight boxing match. Paul used his weight advantage and dominated the fight from start to finish. This caught the attention of Conor McGregor who as the part owner of BKFC, took a radical decision against Perry.
Ahead of his fight against Jake Paul, Mike Perry suddenly revealed his new promotion, ‘Dirty Boxing Championship,’ According to Perry, his success at BKFC was the catalyst for this current development. However, following his latest loss and an embarrassing performance versus Paul, the future appears bleak. On top of that, Conor McGregor, co-owner of BKFC, took to X to announce Perry’s firing from the promotion.
Hey Mike youre released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired. @bareknucklefcConor McGregor via X
Perry is the biggest star of BKFC. As a result, McGregor previously rooted for the fighter ahead of the Paul fight. However, it seems like the ‘Notorious’ didn’t like Perry’s loss at all. On top of it, ‘Platinum’ starting his own promotion might have been one of the major reasons for such a decision.

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) July 21, 2024Earlier this year, Conor McGregor shocked everyone with his announcement regarding the co-ownership of BKFC. Since then the fighter had talked about taking the promotion to the top. Currently, it is unclear whether he has the power to fire Perry from the promotion. However, things are not looking pleasant for the ‘King of Violence’.
Conor McGregor doubles down on Mike Perry’s firing from BKFC
The relationship between Conor McGregor and Mike Perry has been sweet and sour since the ‘Mystic Mac’ took part ownership. In the past, McGregor was seen celebrating Perry’s victories. Opposite to that, Perry has refused to make McGregor his boss and has even called out for a fight. But it seems like now, McGregor does have the upper hand.
After his recent announcement of releasing Mike Perry from the BKFC, McGregor has now confirmed it with a new statement. According to the former UFC double champion, Perry is free and can do whatever he wants with his new venture.
Perry took a pay cut to take that fight btw. It was a wish of his. Astounding. He will not be offered a return to the bkfc ring. He can do a few matches of his new dirty boxing thing with the mma sparring gloves he has set up. We wish him well. Wish granted.Conor McGregor via X in a now-deleted tweet
McGregor further mentioned that Perry earned way less than he normally gets in BKFC fights. It was Perry’s decision to take the risk and it cost him his spot in the promotion. Currently, there are no official announcements regarding Mike Perry from BKFC but things have definitely turned interesting.
In case you missed it!
