- McGregor took to social media to rant about Paul following his victory over Perry
- Paul, 27, knocked out MMA fighter Perry in round six of their bout in Las Vegas
- The YouTuber was initially meant to fight Mike Tyson but the legend pulled out
Conor McGregor has taken to social media to brand Jake Paul a ‘p***bag’ following the YouTuber’s knockout victory over Mike Perry.
Paul claimed his 10th scalp in boxing in impressive fashion by flooring Perry in the sixth round with the BKFC champion unable to get back off the canvas.
The 32-year-old fighter was a late replacement for boxing legend Mike Tyson who had to pull out due to health issues.
Perry displayed his skills against Paul in Las Vegas but was knocked down twice before the flurry of punches that ended the bout.
It took McGregor just minutes to take to X (formerly Twitter) to berate Paul for his choice of opponents. ‘Jake Paul is the biggest p***bag I have ever seen in my life,’ wrote the former UFC champion.
Conor McGregor had more than a few choice words for Jake Paul after his win over Mike Perry
Paul, 27, knocked out Perry in the sixth round after putting him on the canvas twice prior
McGregor was less than impressed and ripped into Paul over the weight difference between the fighters
McGregor continued: ’40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still s***ting 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***h a**es. You could never. And then calling out 60 year old Mike Tyson fresh off an in flight medical emergency? I swear to god, a fat can of b***h p***. Most valuable p***bag.’
The pair have not been fond of each other for a while with Paul not hiding his willingness to fight McGregor in the future.
While it seems unlikely that a bout between the two men will happen, Paul still had an instant response to the MMA fighter’s post after the fight.
The YouTuber said: ‘That’s f***ed up that he fired your BKFC champion. I told you that was going to happen. I told you exactly what was going to happen.’
Paul did not stop there. After gathering some time to collect his thoughts after his win, he took aim at McGregor again in his post-fight press conference.
‘He was big upping his boy Mike Perry — I said, ‘OK Conor, after I f*ck up Mike Perry, then you’re next,’ said Paul.
It didn’t take Paul long to respond as he claimed McGregor was ‘scared’ of him in his post-fight press conference
‘So Conor’s on Twitter all the time. He’s on his yacht all the time. Guess where he’s not? In the ring, fighting me.
‘So he can talk all the f*ck he wants, but The Notorious MMA is scared of Jake Joseph Paul from Disney channel. And I put that on my mama.’
With Perry now in his rear-view mirrors, Paul now has his sights set back on Tyson, with the controversial bout between them now lined up for November.
