Perry claimed "the people pay so I wanna make the fights the people wanna see," whilst calling out Jake Paul and Darren Till in a tweet on August 16:

Or Darren Till or @jakepaul , the people pay so I wanna make the fights the people wanna see. Age, skill, experience, fame, no excuses, I’m sure @bareknucklefc has a plan but I’m just trying to make it interesting.

"...Age, skill, experience, fame, no excuses, I'm sure [BKFC] has a plan but I'm just trying to make it interesting."

In another Tweet prior to this, Perry directly called out UFC hall-of-famer Robbie Lawler:

Come to @bareknucklefc and fight me @Ruthless_RL

Till entertained Perry's callout, replying with a GIF that seemed to confirm he was onboard with the idea. On the other hand, the fan consensus for Paul was that it would never happen. The Lawler callout had mixed reactions.

Till went one further, however, replying "I think by the end of this year or the start of the next, me & you need to actually fight."

Perry vs. Till in BKFC could be the fight to make, since Perry has found unprecedented success in the promotion and Till is now a free agent. 

The two have had minor verbal spats in the past, and the fight has always been on the lips of fans and pundits as a great showdown between two of combat sport's most entertaining personalities.
