Conor McGregor, a co-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships, said Mike Perry is fired from the promotion after his loss to Jake Paul on Saturday.
"That's f--ked up that he fired your BKFC champion," Paul said of McGregor (3:20 mark). "I told you that was going to happen. I told you exactly what was going to happen."
Perry joined the BKFC in 2021 after the expiration of his UFC contract. He's 5-0 in the promotion and has arguably become the biggest face in BKFC history.
McGregor joined the promotion's ownership group in April. It's unclear what level of power that allows him to wield, but it's clear Perry doesn't think his "firing" is anything to be taken seriously.
McGregor also took aim at Paul following the bout, calling the YouTuber-turned-boxer a "pissbag" and accusing him of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
