Perry, 32, is now left to ponder a move back into BKFC after speaking out following McGregor’s blast.
He said: “He doesn’t have a promotion because me and him are both owners of BKFC, so he can’t fire me.
“We can fight in bare-knuckle, look at me I lost to Jake Paul so why don’t you go and fight Jake Paul.
“You can box him with the gloves on, I think it would be worse than Conor McGregor vs [Floyd] Mayweather.”
