Former UFC champion Michael Bisping didn’t hold back when it came to expressing his opinion about YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul. In a recent revelation, Bisping referred to Paul as a “little d*ckhead” and disclosed that he had received direct messages from him on Twitter.
After his defeat to Tommy Fury last February, Jake Paul is ready to step back into the boxing ring. This time, he has set his sights on former UFC superstar Nate Diaz. Paul previously fought renowned MMA combatants such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva.
Now Paul seems eager to prove himself against another challenging opponent, former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. Despite Jake Paul’s efforts to entice him, Bisping declined the invitation to face the YouTuber in the ring. The two engaged in a direct message exchange on Twitter, with Bisping not holding back his candid thoughts about Paul.
In response to Paul’s Twitter messages, Bisping openly expressed his disdain for the YouTube sensation.
Bisping said: “I’ll tell you what I think, I think Jake Paul is a little d**khead. He’s been sending me DMs on Twitter, again. I don’t know what prompted this one, [last one was] maybe six months ago, maybe less. He just came at me on Twitter, this is direct message, I won’t go into exact details.”
“We went back and forth a bit, I was just laughing at him and he was all upset.”
“The reality is, I don’t know Jake Paul, I’ve never met the guy. I’m sure he’s not a bad person, he talks a lot of crap, he’s doing his own thing, he’s promoting himself. But I don’t know him, and I’ve never said anything personal about him. ”
Nate Diaz is stepping up to compete against Jake Paul on August 5. The Paul vs. Diaz bout will be a headline event in Dallas, Texas. The match is scheduled for eight rounds and is expected to attract significant attention.
