Conor McGregor Reveals Mike Perry’s Jake Paul fight Paycheck
Jake Paul defeated Mike Perry in their most recent boxing match; Perry had won five times against mixed martial arts competitors. Following the contest, Conor McGregor disclosed startling information regarding Perry’s payment on social media. Perry received considerably less money for this bout, according to McGregor, than he does for bare-knuckle fights at BKFC.
In response, Terrence McKinney backed Perry in a tweet that was later removed from McGregor’s account. “Hello, nothing bm, who the f** are you?” wrote McGregor. This payoff was not very good. BKFC makes a higher payment. This was an idiot’s** choice on my part. According to his contract, he was only allowed to fight once outside of the group. This is his desired outcome.
This news is surprising because other MMA fighters who have fought Jake Paul have reported great paydays. Paul himself has said that his opponents are gaining millions fighting him. McGregor’s revelation adds another twist to the ongoing storyline between the MMA fighter and the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Alex Pereira Answers Jake Paul’s call
After defeating Mike Perry, Jake Paul wasted no time calling out another big name from the UFC, Alex Pereira. Paul’s M.M.A.
Paul’s call got Pereira’s attention, and the Brazilian responded by FaceTiming Paul while still in the ring after his win over Perry. As if eager to fight Paul, Pereira said, “Chama! Let him be my friend.” When Paul asked UFC President Dana White’s position on this potential fight, Pereira’s mentor Glover Teixeira chimed in, “We’ll talk to him, we’ll talk to him.” Pereira added a confident “yes”.
The connection leaves fans wondering how Dana White will react to this potential crossover battle. White has bigger issues to deal with right now, but this proposed fight with Paul Pereira certainly gets them excited.
The Nick Diaz Comeback Fight is Scrapped
In disappointing news for fight fans, Nick Diaz’s scheduled comeback fight with Vicente Luc in Abu Dhabi next month has been cancelled. Diaz, one of MMA’s iconic figures, was set to return after almost three years away from the Octagon.
The fight was canceled due to an untimely travel issue preventing Diaz from traveling to Abu Dhabi. The UFC announced the promotion during the broadcast of UFC Vegas 94. However, there is hope for Diaz fans as the promotion is looking to rebook the fight against Luke.
Whether Diaz, forty, is still able to perform at a high caliber will have to wait for a little while more. His comeback is much awaited, and when he finally does face Luque, it will undoubtedly be an entertaining occasion.
