‘Dana White Still Got You by the B*lls’- Jake Paul Doubles Down on His Call-Out of Former UFC Champion Michael Bisping
YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul rules the internet at the moment and it seems like every statement gets his traction amongst fans of the combat sports community. ‘The Problem Child’ recently called out retired UFC champion and Hall of Famer Michael Bisping for a boxing scrap.
Paul has talked about making a return to the ring in August and he has seemingly zeroed in on his next opponent. He has already faced two former UFC fighters, including a UFC champion in Tyron Woodley, and he clearly wants another former UFC champion on his hit list.
Dear @bisping,
I challenge you to stop hosting your struggling podcast, get licensed to fight, and box me.

Paul’s recent call-outs of Michael Bisping have been met with mixed reactions from the MMA community given that Bisping is well and truly out of the fight game. However, the ‘Count’ seems fired up and is willing to lace up the gloves to face the young, undefeated boxer.
Jake Paul fires shots at Michael Bisping and Dana White
It seems as though no one is off-limits once Jake Paul is on a Twitter rampage and this is especially true for UFC President Dana White. Paul and White have gone back and forth on many occasions and their disdain for each other is well known.
In a recent tweet, Jake Paul insulted Michael Bisping’s extended ties to Dana White and the UFC by insinuating that White still had control over his former fighter. Moreover, ‘The Problem Child’ also made sure to go on record to say that the terms of his fight against Bisping would be solely dictated by him.
.@Bisping post legal confirmation that you are not under UFC contract and I will get you a contract. You retired in 2017 and Dana still got you by the balls. And we fight where I tell you we fight.

It’s undeniable that Paul vs Bisping has a sense of mystique to it that would help it sell well on pay-per-view. However, getting Michael Bisping sanctioned for the contest will be easier said than done. It’s no secret that Michael Bisping has only one functional eye and it’s difficult to believe that a state commission would sanction the bout.
However, Bisping also famously won a UFC world championship with just one eye, and if anyone could get the job done, it would be him. There’s certainly a lot to look out for in terms of updates in the coming weeks regarding this potential fight.
