Video: Reaction to Jake Paul’s KO of another UFC veteran Mike Perry, callout of Alex Pereira

Will any MMA fighter beat Jake Paul in the boxing ring? Our “Spinning Back Clique” discusses Paul’s latest triumph over a UFC veteran.

[autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] has done it again.

Another UFC veteran fell in the boxing ring at the hands of Paul, and this time, BKFC’s “King of Violence” Mike Perry was the victim. Perry was knocked down in the first, second, and sixth rounds of their boxing bout scheduled for eight, the last of which sealed the deal.

Paul now has his sights set on a Nov. 15 showdown against boxing legend Mike Tyson. Considering the results against Perry, do you want to see Tyson fight more or less now?

Don’t think that Paul is done with UFC fighters, either. He spent some time on the mic in the ring to call out current UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira for a showdown in the boxing ring. Of course, somehow, Conor McGregor injected himself into the conversation as well.

What did we make of this entire event and the whirlwind of commentary after?

That’s what our “Spinning Back Clique” of Farah Hannoun, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Matthew Wells discussed along with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia. Check out their conversation in the video above, and be sure to watch this week’s full episode below.

Darren Till: Jake Paul ‘was terrible, and so was Mike’ Perry in fight that felt ‘all fake’

Darren Till went off on both Jake Paul and Mike Perry after their boxing match.

[autotag]Darren Till[/autotag] went off on both [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] after their boxing match.

Paul (10-1) dropped Perry (0-2) early then stopped him in Round 6 of their cruiserweight fight Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. It was a fairly dominant performance from Paul, but Till wasn’t impressed.

“From the clips I’ve seen, it was just atrocious,” Till told Submission Radio. “I didn’t even expect that. Like low of a level from Perry. It was just low-level striking and boxing. Jake Paul was gassed after the first round. F*ck him. I just, to be honest with you, I don’t even know what Mike was doing myself, like, what he was actually doing in there. He just looked like he was f*cking stumbling over his feet and sh*t like that. So, I’m actually quite speechless to be honest with you. It didn’t impress me. Jake was terrible, and so was Mike.

“Jake was blown out of his ass after the first round, and Mike just was stumbling over his own two feet. It looked to me like Mike has never had or been coached by anyone. Like he just looked like a total amateur in there. Like, he really did. I get he’s tough, and I get he’s durable, but that just only takes you so far. Yet he’s the ‘King of Violence’ in bareknuckle, but mate, there’s nobody in bareknuckle. Like, there’s nobody there. He should have beat Jake. Maybe not, Jake was 40 pounds heavier than him, juiced out of his nut. But still, he probably should have put up a better fight than he did.”

Paul, who fights 58-year-old Mike Tyson in November at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, proceeded to call out UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. He also accused Conor McGregor of being scared of him.

“I think the whole thing’s a farce thing for Conor McGregor’s name to even get mentioned in that breath or sentence is just like – it’s a total disrespect to Conor,” Till said. “Conor’s a f*cking double-weight world champion in the UFC. Conor, go back to UFC please, mate.

“That’s your bread and butter, that’s the guy you are. You know, I get what he’s doing with (BKFC). I don’t know. It’s a weird f*cking – I’m going to be honest with you, it was a weird fight. It was a weird fight between them. It feels like it’s all fake. I’m not going to lie.”

Till returned to action earlier this month when he faced Mohammad Mutie at Social Knockout 3 from Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. He was announced the winner by TKO when he accidentally struck Mutie in the back of the head, rendering him unable to continue.

The former UFC title challenger called out a slew of names after the win, including Paul, but “The Problem Child” is yet to mention his name.

“Nothing at all because Jake Paul will not fight me,” Till said. “I’m 6 foot 1, I’m 225 pounds and I can box like f*ck. Jake Paul will not fight me. …You are so lucky that you will not fight me because I would punch holes in Jake Paul.

“Listen, I respect so much the businessmen that him and his brother are. Like major respect. I respect the fact that he’s actually dedicated his whole life to boxing. I respect a lot of things, but I would seriously injure Jake Paul in a ring.”

Michael Bisping: Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry ‘was a sh*t show’ that never should’ve happened

Mike Perry had no business being in the ring with Jake Paul, at least according to UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping.

[autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] had no business being in the ring with [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag], at least according to UFC Hall of Famer [autotag]Michael Bisping[/autotag].

Paul (10-1) finished Perry (0-2) by sixth-round TKO in their cruiserweight boxing match this past Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. Bisping pointed to the obvious size difference between the two fighters, as it was evident Perry struggled with Paul’s range.

“Coming into this fight, I think myself, I think the whole fight community, everyone was behind Mike Perry, but the reality was he was too small,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “There are weight classes in boxing, in combat sports for a reason.

“It was only until the fight started – when I saw them both with their shirts off and just the gloves and the shoes on and the shorts – that I realized just the discrepancy in the size. Jake Paul was about twice the size of him. The weight difference (was) going to be insane.”

Bisping ridiculed Paul for continuing to take on MMA fighters. Paul called out UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, as well as Conor McGregor.

“Well done to Jake Paul if that’s what you want to see,” Bisping said. “That was a farce. That was ridiculous. That fight should have never even taken place in the first place because it was a sh*t show. Jake Paul was by far the bigger guy and, as I’ve said, there are weight classes for a reason.

“Jake Paul grinds my gears. Let’s be honest: He does because of all the sh*t talk, of how great that he thinks he is. Then he cherry picks these opponents that are way smaller and less experienced.”

“The Problem Child” will face an experienced boxer next, but it will be 58-year-old Mike Tyson on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Mike Perry: Conor McGregor can’t fire me from BKFC after Jake Paul loss

Conor McGregor says Mike Perry is fired. Mike Perry says that’s not possible.

In dealing with defeat, [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] has focuses – but [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag]’s declaration of his BKFC firing is not one of them.

“He doesn’t f*cking have a promotion because me and him are both owners of BKFC,” Perry said during a post-fight news conference after boxing Jake Paul. “He can’t fire me. We can fight bareknuckle. Look at me. I lost to Jake Paul. Why don’t you go fight Jake Paul and box him with the gloves on. I think it would be worse than Conor McGregor vs. (Floyd) Mayweather.”

Following Perry’s TKO loss Saturday to Jake Paul, McGregor, a member of the BKFC ownership group, went off, targeting Perry on X.

“Hey Mike, you’re released, and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck,” McGregor wrote. “You’re fired.”

In another X post that has since been deleted, McGregor also insulted Perry’s newly-announced promotion, Dirty Boxing.

Perry has served as one of BKFC’s biggest stars, and outside of McGregor’s insults, there has been no indication that relationship will end any time soon.

Regardless of whether his next fight is in gloved or ungloved boxing, Perry is focused on improvement. The loss Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. was a major disappointment.

“There’s nothing to be happy about,” Perry said. “I should have done better, or maybe I just couldn’t. I don’t know. He was a little too sharp, a little too fast for me. But good job. … I use (the loss) as a mental health thing. I train in the gym to be a better person.”

Though Perry and McGregor have had their fair share of rivalries, their insults have not been previously directed at one another, though the two engaged in a playful faceoff at BKFC 41 in April 2023. Prior to Saturday’s fight, McGregor said he was rooting for Perry to defeat Paul.

Conor McGregor goes off on ‘pissbag’ Jake Paul, tells Mike Perry ‘you’re fired’ from BKFC

Mike Perry let down his BKFC boss, Conor McGregor, who also had some choice words for Jake Paul after their boxing match.

If there was ever a case of a combat sports boss throwing a tantrum on social media, it came from [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag] on Saturday night.

After [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] defeated [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] by sixth-round TKO in their boxing match, McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion who is now part owner of BKFC, had some choice words for both Paul and Perry.

First Paul, whom McGregor called “the biggest pissbag” and put on blast for fighting a much smaller opponent while allegeing he was on performance enhancers.

Jake Paul is the biggest pissbag I have ever seen in my life. 40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still shitting 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 piss. Most valuable pissbag.

A few minutes later, Perry was the target of McGregor’s ire, telling the promotion’s biggest draw “you’re fired.”

Hey Mike youre released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired.

Whether or not Perry, BKFC’s “King of Violence,” will be handed his pink slip, remains to be seen as BKFC president David Feldman is sure to have some thoughts on that. Prior to the fight, McGregor publicly threw his support behind Perry, prompting Paul to say he would embarrass BKFC by knocking out its biggest star.

The fact that it came to fruition clearly doesn’t sit well with McGregor.

Jake Paul stops Mike Perry by sixth-round TKO, calls out UFC champ Alex Pereira

Jake Paul continues his quest of beating former UFC fighters. The latest was Mike Perry, and he wants the next to be Alex Pereira.

[autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] continues to put a beating on MMA guys.

The latest victim was also a bareknuckle guy, as [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] was stopped by Paul in Round 6 of their cruiserweight fight Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla.

Paul was largely dominant throughout the fight. He knocked down Perry early in Round 2. Then after some Perry success, Paul regained his stride and jabbed Perry over and over. Perry struggled with the range and eventually was tagged badly in Round 6.

Paul smelled blood in the water and charged. He hit Perry with a combination that floored the former UFC fighter and current BKFC star to the canvas.

Perry rose to his feet at the referee’s eight-count. But when asked to take a step sideways, Perry stumbled and the fight was waved off.

Afterward, Paul turned his attention to his immediate next step: a Nov. 15 showdown with boxing legend Mike Tyson. The fight was supposed to take place Saturday but was postponed in May due to health concerns with Tyson.

As for the more distant future, Paul name-dropped another combat sports champion in the UFC’s [autotag]Alex Pereira[/autotag].

“Alex Pereira, you say you want to box,” Paul said during his in-cage interview with Ariel Helwani. “I’m the king of this. I’m the king of this. Come over. We can make it happen. I want you, Alex Pereira. … I just beat a BKFC champion. I’ve beat multiple UFC champions. He said he wants to box. So Alex Pereira, after Mike Tyson, let’s make it happen.”

Paul, 27, now has boxing wins over MMA notables Perry, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley (twice), and Ben Askren. He’s on a four-fight winning streak that dates back to his only career loss, a split decision to Tommy Fury.

Perry, 32, entered Saturday’s bout with a 0-1 record in traditional professional boxing and had not competed in the discipline since 2015. He has, however, found tremendous success in BKFC, where he has become one of the faces of the promotion with a 5-0 bareknuckle record.
