Jake Paul is firing back at Conor McGregor with fierce words.
In the lead-up to Paul’s fight against Mike Perry this weekend, McGregor, who is currently a part-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), took a jab at the YouTube-star-turned-boxer by calling him a “little dweeb.”
“You can make a new name for yourself here in BKFC,” McGregor said. “Look at what has happened to Mike Perry, one of our big stars here – the ‘King of Violence,’ he calls himself. He’s had such a rise in the sport. Now he’s up against a little dweeb of a thing in a fight this weekend, and we’re all rooting for him.”

Paul did not take kindly to McGregor’s comments and responded by promising to embarrass BKFC by defeating Perry in their upcoming boxing match.
“You’re gonna see what I’m gonna do to their best fighter on Saturday night,” Paul declared. “I’m gonna embarrass their whole league. This guy has no skill. Those are just brawler, idiot, street fighter dudes who have no idea what the sweet science is. Conor McGregor can say whatever he wants, but he won’t fight me either. Once I knock out Mike Perry, Conor McGregor, let’s run it, but you won’t do it because you know what’s gonna happen. You saw what I did to Nate Diaz, who you went toe to toe with.”
Paul further escalated his attack on McGregor by questioning his commitment and sobriety. “So, Conor McGregor, lay off the cocaine, get in the gym, and start winning fights. Then maybe we can have a conversation.”
Paul’s bold retort sets the stage for an intense showdown this weekend, with the promise of potentially more high-profile clashes in the future.
