Michael Bisping Says Jake Paul Challenged Him

By Fight Sports Dec 21, 2020

Michael Bisping claims Jake Paul has reached out to his manager about a potential fight and he’s willing to accept.

Bisping is a former UFC Middleweight Champion. Paul is a YouTube personality who has gone 2-0 with two knockouts as a pro boxer. Paul’s trainer, BJ Flores, has said he wants Paul to take on an MMA fighter inside the boxing ring next. While Paul has been trying to get under the skin of Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis, it appears there’s another name he is targeting.

During a recent edition of his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping revealed that Paul has reached out to his team with a challenge (h/t MMAMania.com).

“Jake Paul, if you want to f*cking go, Logan Paul, if you want to go, then I guess you have to put your hands in your pockets and man up. Because you’re talking sh*t, you’re contacting my manager saying that you want to fight. Well, guess what, buddy? I’m here. I’m going nowhere. You want to fight someone? You want to test yourself? Hey, I’m 0-0 as a boxer. You’re saying you’re 1-0, you’re 2-0, I’m 0-0.

“At the end of the day, if you want to do this, stop playing games. You want to do it? I’ll do it. I’m here. No problem. Okay? I’m almost 42-years old, I’m a former world champion and I will take you to school, my friend. And I’ll guarantee you this. You won’t get out of three rounds. That’s an absolute fact. You won’t get out of one round but we’ll say three just to give you that little insurance blanket. If this is a real offer, let me know and we’ll do it. 100 percent. Logan Paul or Jake Paul, or both.”

As mentioned, Paul has been trying to ruffle the feathers of McGregor and Danis. The YouTube sensation called McGregor’s fiancee, Dee Devlin, a four out of 10. He then threw junk at Danis while the Bellator fighter was being filmed for Brendan Schaub’s Food Truck Diaries.
