Jake Paul finds himself embroiled in yet another verbal altercation, this time with former UFC champion Conor McGregor. The feud escalated as Paul labeled all MMA fighters as 'b*****s' and claimed they 'can't box' in response to McGregor's derogatory remarks, referring to Paul as a 'little dweeb of a thing'.
Known for his controversial nature, Paul has not shied away from stirring up conflicts with various figures in the MMA community. Despite his persistent desire to face McGregor in an MMA match, McGregor has yet to accept the challenge.
The feud traces back to a press conference for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), where McGregor suggested that Paul should try his hand at the organization to establish a new reputation. Paul, in turn, dismissed MMA fighters' credibility, asserting that they lack boxing skills and branding them as 'p*****s'.
Following the exchange, Paul and Perry engaged in a press conference ahead of their impending fight. Perry emphasized the opportunity to showcase authentic fighting skills in boxing, contrasting himself with Paul's previous opponents whom he deemed past their prime.
Expressing frustration with MMA fighters' rhetoric, Paul condemned their claims of superiority and challenged their reluctance to face him in MMA bouts. Despite the ongoing verbal sparring, Paul and Perry eventually agreed to a showdown in the octagon.
Paul's upcoming fight with Perry comes after the postponement of his match against Mike Tyson, rescheduled for November due to health concerns raised by the former heavyweight champion.
As the tension between Paul and McGregor continues to escalate, the MMA community eagerly anticipates the outcome of their ongoing feud and the potential for future confrontations in the ring.
