Jake Paul rekindled one of his most well-known feuds while appearing at tonight’s fight card in Los Angeles.
Rather than playing his usual role inside the ring, Paul was promoting the event, which was streamed live on Netflix.
But after watching a two-round brawl between Nate Diaz and Mike Perry, he found his way into the cage once again.
Perry picked up a win after a doctor stopped the fight due to an injury Diaz suffered. The big talking point, though, came when Perry called for another shot at Paul — and Jake didn’t hesitate to agree.
Jake Paul agrees to fight Mike Perry in an MMA rematch after a KO in the boxing ring
When Jake Paul and Mike Perry first squared off in the boxing ring two years ago, it was never close. Paul may have been forced to wait for his stoppage victory, but he never looked threatened as he put Perry on the canvas multiple times before the fight was stopped.
Perry’s confidence has always come from his background as a fighter and tonight, that gap in skill level was on full display. Following his win on Netflix, he called out Paul for a return fight – this time inside an MMA cage.
“Jake’s crazy calling out Francis Ngannou,” Perry told Ariel Helwani after the fight. “But I would do MMA against Jake Paul.” The social media star replied: “I’ll MMA this, I already beat that a– in boxing.”
Perry seemed excited about the challenge: “It was good, you got me, bud. I’m more of an MMA fighter, you saw I landed tonight, you wouldn’t have liked that either.” Paul responded by saying: “I love you, Mike, you’re a warrior. This is your night and your moment, but we can run it back.”
