In the aftermath of Jake Paul's decisive knockout of Mike Perry, Conor McGregor, a part-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), terminated Perry's contract. McGregor criticized Perry for participating in a traditional boxing match, despite a contractual clause allowing one outside fight. Jake Paul responded to McGregor's actions and insults by challenging him to a fight and disparaging bare-knuckle fighters and BKFC. Paul also accused McGregor of avoiding the confrontation and urged him to 'lay off cocaine' and face him in the ring. The ongoing exchanges highlight the escalating tensions between the two fighters and their respective promotions.
