Conor McGregor calls out Jake Paul over what fight fans were saying after his knockout win over Mike Perry

You can always count on Conor McGregor to provide if you fancy some post-fight entertainment and a brutal analysis of what went down in the boxing ring, especially if it's Jake Paul who stepped inside of it.

And last night (20 July) was no different, as the UFC star, 36, tore into 'The Problem Child' and his opponent Mike Perry after their clash at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Perry stepped up to the plate to take on Paul after the YouTuber's highly-anticipated showdown against boxing legend Mike Tyson, 58, was postponed until later this year.

The 32-year-old, from Michigan, was put on the canvas three times and endured a considerable amount of punches, before Paul - who rocked up to the ring in a chariot and dressed as a gladiator - won by a TKO in the sixth round.

He improved his professional boxing record to 10-1 following his latest victory over yet another former UFC fighter.

But according to McGregor, the win was nothing to be proud of.

The Irish star started mud-slinging in a series of posts on X, branding Paul the 'biggest p*ssbag', pointing out that he faced a much smaller opponent and even accusing him of using performance enhancers.

However, according to sports fans, the outspoken fighter was just 'saying what everyone was thinking'.

McGregor's first post read: "Jake Paul is the biggest p*ssbag I have ever seen in my life. 40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still sh*tting himself in there.

"Nakisa you should take him to Vegas oh that’s right you could never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real fighting. B*tch asses. 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 b*tch p*ss. Most valuable p*ssbag."

But he wasn't done there, as McGregor - who is part of the ownership group at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) - 'released' Perry from the promotion following his defeat.

Perry made quite a name for himself in the BKFC following his departure from UFC and has had five big wins, but the Road House star wasn't interested after watching him get knocked out.

He wrote in another post: "Hey Mike youre [sic] released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired. @bareknucklefc."

Explaining his decision, McGregor added: "Perry took a pay cut to take that fight btw. It was a wish of his. Astounding.

"He will not be offered a return to the BKFC ring. He can do a few matches of his new dirty boxing thing with the mma sparring gloves he has set up. We wish him well. Wish granted."

It's quite the turnaround, seen as though McGregor said he was 'rooting for' Perry ahead of his bout against Paul - who he described as a 'little dweeb of a thing' ahead of the fight on Saturday.

Paul, 27, responded by vowing to 'embarrass' the entire BKFC by defeating their star, which obviously is kind of what happened...and McGregor is not happy about it.

He isn't the only one displeased with the result though, as social media users reckon he hit the nail on the head with his scathing tweets.

One person said of Paul's win: "He fought one real boxer in Tommy Fury and lost. He cherry picks and always has an unfair advantage."

Another wrote: "It is actually sick, he looked 5 weight classes bigger. Clear weight advantage on all of those shots."

A third added: "Only time he fought someone his age and size was Tommy Fury and he lost LOL."

While a fourth commented: "FINALLY you say something. AGREED."

Paul addressed McGregor's rant in his post-fight press conference after the win over Perry, saying: "Conor's on Twitter, he's on his yacht, but guess where he's not? In the ring fighting me.

"The 'Notorious MMA' is scared of Jake Paul from Disney Channel."
