Jake Paul knocked out Mike Perry in the sixth round of their boxing match on Saturday night.
And then a whole lot of people learned that UFC star Conor McGregor is a part owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
McGregor “fired” Perry from competing in BKFC after losing to Paul, where he was floored three times in the bout and severely overmatched against the YouTuber-turned-boxer, who was sucking wind by Round 2.
“Jake Paul is the biggest pissbag I have ever seen in my life,” McGregor posted on X. “40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still s–tting himself in there.”

He then targeted Nakisa Bidarian, Most Valuable Promotions co-founder and Paul’s business partner, in the next sentence.
“You should take him to Vegas oh that’s right you could never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real fighting. Bitch asses,” McGregor exclaimed, then mentioning Paul’s forthcoming November bout with Mike Tyson, which was originally scheduled for July 20 before a postponement due to a medical issue for the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion.
“You could never. And then calling out 60year old Mike Tyson fresh off an in flight medical emergency? I swear to god, a fat can of bitch piss. Most valuable pissbag,” McGregor concluded in the post.

McGregor said three minutes later in a seperate post that Perry is “released” 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. @bareknucklefc,” he said, tagging the promotion while referring to Perry’s hybrid rules combat sports promotion Dirty Boxing Championship.
Perry, a former UFC star, was 5-0 with three knockouts in BKFC leading up to his boxing match with Paul in Tampa.

Perry — who was competing in his second pro boxing match ever and first since a knockout loss in his 2015 debut — says McGregor can’t actually fire him.
“He doesn’t have a promotion because me and him are owners of BKFC, so he can’t fire me,” Perry said after the loss to Paul during his press conference.

Perry later challenged McGregor to box Paul himself.
McGregor responded in a since deleted post that Perry isn’t actually an “owner” of the promotion.
“Michael you are not any owner in bkfc.
