Jake Paul has reached out to Mike Perry with a job offer after the latter was reportedly “fired” by Conor McGregor from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
The drama began when McGregor, who is a part-owner of BKFC, announced that he had “released” Perry from the promotion following his defeat to Paul.
However, Perry quickly refuted McGregor’s decision, leading to a public back-and-forth between the two fighters. The ‘Notorious’ then revealed a key detail from Perry’s BKFC contract, further fueling the controversy.
Amidst the chaos, Jake Paul, who recently scored a victory over Perry in the sixth round, has stepped in with a job offer. “Mike Perry, as you got fired by Conor McGregor from BKFC, we will hire you at Betr into a partnership and give you some sort of role,” Paul said on his podcast. “We’ll figure out what that’s going to be. Betr has a job for you, Mike Perry. We’re just giving him another stream of income. He can keep fighting. We can maybe start a podcast with him or something; we’ll figure it out.”
Perry, who made his UFC debut in 2016 on the undercard of McGregor’s rematch against Nate Diaz, has enjoyed a successful run in BKFC, where he has recorded five big wins. He’s beaten the likes of Michael ‘Venom’ Page, Luke Rockhold, and Eddie Alvarez.
