MVP has announced a thrilling showdown at “Fear No Man” on July 20, as Jake “El Gallo” Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) takes on the formidable “Platinum” Mike Perry (5-0, 3 KOs BKFC) in an eight-round cruiserweight clash at Amalie Arena, Tampa, Florida. This showdown marks Paul’s boldest challenge yet, pitting his skills against Perry’s renowned knockout power and fearless style.

In addition to the main event, boxing trailblazer Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs) will face Stevie “Sledgehammer” Morgan (14-1, 13 KOs) in a super lightweight co-main event over 10 rounds. Serrano aims to showcase her dominance ahead of a highly anticipated bout with Katie Taylor.

Tickets for Paul vs. Perry and Serrano vs. Morgan will go on sale June 19th at 12pm ET on Ticketmaster.com. The event, presented by CELSIUS Live Fit Essential Energy, promises a stacked undercard including the rematch of Tony Aguilar vs. Corey “2Smoove” Marksman in an eight-round lightweight bout.

Paul, known for his commitment to boxing and his efforts to elevate the sport, faces Perry amidst his preparation for a future bout with Mike Tyson. Perry, with an impressive career across UFC, Triad Combat, and BKFC, brings an unmatched level of experience and power to the ring, making this match a must-watch event for fight fans worldwide.

“When Paul vs. Tyson was rescheduled, I knew immediately that I wanted to still fight on Saturday, July 20. Now, as I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike, there’s no better opponent for me than Mike Perry,” said Jake Paul. “He’s a proven knockout artist who has shown to be a maniac in and out of the ring. This is the perfect experience for me to gain in advance of facing Mike Tyson. But getting that experience comes with risk. Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to end me, I’m Titanium Jake Paul and I fear no man. I’m going to get the W and give everyone a preview of what I’m bringing to the ring against Mike Tyson. Tune in on DAZN PPV as I return to Tampa and send ‘Platinum’ Perry the Platypus back to bare knuckle for good.”

“Jake Paul claims he fears no man, but on Saturday, July 20, the world will see the truth: he just made the worst mistake of his life in trying to get through me before Iron Mike,” said Mike Perry. “I’m going to make it look easy on Saturday July 20th, and I’m going to teach Jake Paul the most he’s ever learned about fighting.”

Conor McGregor Confronts Mike Perry After Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

by

Conor McGregor is prone to steal the show at any combat sports event he attends, even if he’s not the one fighting. Moreover, that’s exactly what happened Saturday night (April 29) at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where Mike Perry fought against Luke Rockhold. After the latter got his teeth busted up and removed himself from the fight, Perry emerged victorious, but found another opponent instead. Furthermore, McGregor joined him on stage and they had a fake face-off during which the MMA star grabbed Perry’s BKFC belt. All in all, it seemed to be just a stare-down for fun, although McGregor obviously had some words to share, as well.

Of course, Conor McGregor lightly challenged Perry to a fight of their own, remarking how all he did was walk in there and grab the belt. “Come get it, baby!” he exclaimed after their showdown. As one of the most prominent figures in the combat sports world (who is out on injury right now), his antics make for a crowd favorite. As the match went on, he drank from his whiskey and toasted the crowd to uproarious cheers and applause.

Conor McGregor & Mike Perry Face Off

Still, that broken leg from his 2021 fight with Dustin Poirier was a scary moment that left him thinking he’d never fight again. However, that lore added to his image and status as a fighting superstar, which rose exponentially in the past several years. The next move to take a peek behind Conor McGregor’s curtain is a Netflix documentary on the Irish fighter. Specifically, the documentary will reportedly highlight his return to the UFC octagon against Michael Chandler and also touch on his career as a whole.

With that, fans of Notorious should be incredibly excited for some more action and excitement from McGregor. In fact, hype around him is so big that he even recently appeared on Fox News as a guest. Time will tell how his comeback will pan out for his health and record. Regardless, it will be a massive event in the community that’s bound to bring a lot of corners of pop culture and sports together. For the latest news and updates on Conor McGregor, keep checking in with HNHH.
