UFC Legend exposes Jake Paul
Michael Bisping is famous for winning the UFC Middleweight title while being blind in the eye. Recently, on his YouTube channel, he said that Jake Paul was all set to fight Mike Perry after Mike Tyson failed to show up. Bisping has had a very interesting reason for Paul taking on the former UFC welterweight in the boxing ring. Bisping said,
The reason he’s picking Mike Perry is because well he couldn’t perform in the UFC. He kind of lost a few fights there so he went over to Bare Knuckle.
Michael Bisping made it clear that Jake picked Mike Perry because Perry couldn’t achieve big things in the octagon. After his UFC career ended, he went to the Bare Knuckle championship and gained massive success there. Mike Perry is a renowned brawler in the cage and one of the world’s most entertaining fighters.
Bisping is based on the belief that Jake Paul is cherry-picking his opponents in the ring so he gets the maximum chance of winning his fights. The statement made by the UFC Hall of Famer might not go down well with the 27-year-old YouTuber in the ring.
