UFC welterweight Mike Perry has shown his desire to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. In an interview with MMA Fighting, Perry said that he is motivated by the opportunity to “deflate the egos” of Jake Paul and his brother Logan Paul, who he believes have become overrated in the world of combat sports.
“I’m interested in deflating the egos that they have,” Perry said. “They think they’re so special in this fighting game.”
Perry, who has faced some of the toughest competition in the UFC, believes his experience and skill would give him a significant advantage over Paul.
“I’ve been in this for a long time,” Perry said. “I pride myself on it. Obviously, they have to work their way up in different ways.”
Perry is known for his heavy hands and aggressive fighting style, and he believes he could end the fight with a knockout.
“I think I’m a much more experienced fighter than Jake Paul,” Perry said. “I’ve been in there with the best guys in the world.”
“I think I would knock him out,” Perry added. “I’m a very powerful puncher, and I’m very confident in my striking ability.”
Jake Paul has not yet publicly responded to Perry’s challenge. However, Paul has expressed interest in fighting other MMA fighters in the past, so it is possible that he would be willing to face Perry in the future.
A fight between Perry and Paul would be a highly anticipated event, as it would pit two of the most polarizing figures in combat sports against each other. Perry, with his proven track record in MMA, would be a significant step up in competition for Paul, who has faced mostly overmatched opponents in his boxing career.
Only time will tell if this fight will come to fruition, but it is certainly one that many fans would be interested in seeing.
