Michael Bisping blasts \u201cpretender\u201d Jake Paul & claims he\u2019s dodging Anderson Silva YouTube: Michael Bisping\/Jake PaulUFC legend Michael Bisping has hit back at Jake Paul\u2019s conditions for them to fight, claiming the YouTuber should fight MMA icon Anderson Silva first as that\u2019s an actual option on the table. Jake Paul is stepping back into the boxing ring in August, but as of now, he doesn\u2019t have an opponent announced just yet. Though, he has been in a war of words with plenty of potential opponents including UFC legend Michael Bisping. The verbal, and virtual, jabs between the two have been pretty vicious to this point. Jake has repeatedly mocked Bisping\u2019s long-standing eye injury, while \u2018The Count\u2019 has stated that it\u2019d be an easy night\u2019s work for him. With the YouTuber urging the UFC legend to get a license so that they can make the bout happen, Bisping has clapped back at the number of hoops he is seemingly having to jump through. After Jake wanted legal confirmation that Bisping is no longer under contract with the UFC, and therefore free to take on a boxing match, the Brit urged him to stop and just fight Anderson Silva instead. \u201cJake \u2018The Pretender\u2019 Paul, first it was fight me, then was show me you can get licensed and now it\u2019s show me you\u2019re not under contract. Mate I wouldn\u2019t give you the steam off my piss,\u201d Bisping tweeted on April 20. \u201cJust accept the Anderson Silva fight which I KNOW for a fact has been offered. Jake???\u201d Jake The Pretender Paul @jakepaul first it was fight me, then was show me you can get licensed and now it\u2019s show me you\u2019re not under contract.

Jake??? https:\/\/t.co\/64jUEqvhTk \u2014 michael (@bisping) April 20, 2022 While Jake didn\u2019t offer up a response to Bisping\u2019s post, his Most Valuable Promotions brand stepped in on his behalf, claiming that Dana White \u201ccontrols\u201d the former UFC champion. \u201cImportant REMINDER JAKE fans: Tommy Fury and Anderson Silva are both fighting over the next 4 weeks,\u201d they also said, defending the YouTuber from any claims that he might be dodging fights. When @bisping admits he\u2019s actually still under UFC contract 5 years after retiring. Dana White controls him. Also important REMINDER JAKE fans: Tommy Fury and Anderson Silva are both fighting over the next 4 weeks. https:\/\/t.co\/tiYDXENHfg \u2014 Most Valuable Promotions (@MostVpromotions) April 20, 2022 At this point, it appears a fight between Jake and Bisping is unlikely to happen, but things can change quickly in the fight game. His opponent for August is still up in the air, but the YouTuber has been adamant in wanting somebody who can match him in name value. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
