By Jake Paul has responded to Conor McGregor’s recent insults, particularly after McGregor called him a “little dweeb” during a BKFC press conference. McGregor, now a part owner of the bare-knuckle fighting promotion, expressed his support for Mike Perry, who is set to fight Paul.
Paul dismissed McGregor’s comments and criticized bare-knuckle fighters, calling them “brawler, idiot, street fighter dudes” who lack proper boxing skills. He also hinted at a potential crossover into bare-knuckle fighting for a rematch against Perry, though Perry doubted Paul would take that risk.
Paul has long sought a fight with McGregor, but it has never materialized due to McGregor’s UFC contract. Despite this, Paul challenged McGregor to a boxing match, referencing his victory over Nate Diaz, who had previously fought McGregor.
Perry, defending bare-knuckle fighters, called Paul a “disrespectful punk” and emphasized the dedication and toughness of those in the sport. He also highlighted his own achievements and upcoming tequila brand.
The verbal exchanges between Paul and Perry are set to culminate in their fight on Saturday night in Tampa.
