Read our privacy policy Conor McGregor has ‘fired’ Mike Perry from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship after the ex-UFC star was knocked out by Jake Paul on Saturday. McGregor recently bought a stake in BKFC and expressed support for Perry before Saturday’s fight – having traded many barbs with Paul over the years – but the Irishman has now seemingly turned on “Platinum”. After Perry lost to Paul, 27, in Florida, McGregor tweeted: “Hey Mike youre released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing. McGregor’s only subsequent results have been his defeats by Poirier, while his win over Cerrone followed a submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018 and a TKO by Floyd Mayweather in a 2017 boxing match.
