Michael Bisping Blasts ‘Clown’ Jake Paul: ‘Stop Talking Like A Real Fighter’
Michael Bisping has taken issue with Jake Paul’s recent social media activity.
The YouTuber stretched his undefeated boxing record to 5-0 in 2021 with three wins, beating Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley x2.
Ahead of the new year, Paul took to Twitter to list a few of his goals for 2022.
“Some people are asking about my 2022 goals Here they are,” Paul wrote. “1. Buy Mayweather Promotions and save them from bankruptcy 2. Hire stylist for Floyd Mayweather 3. Take selfie with Oprah 4. Go 2 chiropractor 2 heal back from carrying the sport of boxing”
The former UFC middleweight champion believes Paul should have just one goal and that is to earn credibility as a fighter by taking on real boxers, not past their prime undersized MMA fighters
“Your goal should be to attain credibility in the fight world,” Bisping replied. “That’s what real fighters crave. Currently you have zero.”
Bisping assures he’s not angling for a fight with Paul and is simply sick of hearing ‘The Problem Child’ talking a big game when he’s yet to face a live opponent.
“Just tired of seeing this clown talking big when he’s yet to fight someone his own size, age or from his own sport,” Bisping replied to a fan asking if he’s angling for a fight with Paul. “When I see that I’ll give respect. Until then it’s just a side show. If his aim is to make cash, fair play. Job done. But stop talking like a real fighter until then.”
Michael Bisping Has Already Turned Down The Chance To Fight Jake Paul
Back in May, Bisping told LowKickMMA that he was offered the chance to box Paul, but the payday wasn’t good enough.
However, he did appear open to the idea of taking on Paul if the right amount of money was put on the table.
“I got offered a contract…It wasn’t enough money,” Bisping said. “They made an offer and it was some decent cash. But, if I’m going to make a fool out of myself by boxing a YouTuber, then I’d want a bit more for it. I’m not going to come out of retirement, but that’s essentially free money to me. If the number was big enough, then I’d be a fool not to go and pick up that money.”
Do you think Michael Bisping is right? Does Jake Paul have zero credibility in the combat sports world?
