Mike Perry has aimed a fresh dig at Conor McGregor following his defeat to Jake Paul.

Perry was dropped before suffering a sixth round defeat to Paul last Saturday.

But fans on social media questioned Paul's victory as they are convinced the fight was 'rigged' after spotting a moment.

After the bout, McGregor, who is part owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, 'released' Perry from the promotion.

'Platinum' refuted the UFC star's drastic decision, prompting McGregor to leak a key detail in Perry's BKFC contract.

Perry has since taunted McGregor over his UFC 303 withdrawal.

The Irishman was supposed to return to action last month until a toe injury forced him to pull out of his main-event showdown against Michael Chandler.

Referencing his injury, Perry took to social media to take a swipe at the 'Notorious'.

On X, he wrote: "My pinky toe hurts."

The row between the two fighters comes after McGregor 'fired' Perry following his defeat to Paul.

On X, he wrote: "Hey Mike youre [sic] released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired. @bareknucklefc."

Perry, 32, made his BKFC debut back in 2022 and has since recorded five big wins, beating the likes of Michael 'Venom' Page, Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez.

As for McGregor, he hasn't fought since his crushing defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back July 2021.

In April, he struck a deal with BKFC founder and president David Feldman to become co-owner of the company.
