McGregor initiated the discourse with Paul on July 18, labelling him a "little dweeb" during a BKFC press conference. Speaking at the Paul vs. Perry press conference on the same date, Paul responded to McGregor's comments with a savage call out.
"Conor McGregor can say what he wants but he won't fight me either," Paul remarked. "So, once I knock out Mike Perry, Conor McGregor, let's run it, but you won't do it because you know what's gonna happen.
"... You know what I did to Nate Diaz, who you went toe-to-toe with. So Conor McGregor, lay off the cocaine, get in the gym, and start winning fights and then maybe we can have a conversation."
