Michael Bisping is firmly in retirement, but that doesn’t stop him from having fun.<\/p>\n

The former UFC middleweight champion retired following a loss to Kelvin Gastelum in November 2017. His retirement was brought on following issues with vision in one of his eyes. He would later reveal that he was essentially blind<\/a> in one eye following a loss to Vitor Belfort in 2013.<\/p>\n

It’s because of those vision issues that essentially mean the British icon won’t fight again. However, that doesn’t stop him from having a little bit of fun. Michael Bisping has notably had multiple back and forths on social media with Jake Paul.<\/p>\n

He’s now clarified in an interview on The MMA Hour<\/em><\/a> with Ariel Helwani, that he would fight the YouTuber if offered. Bisping did joke around that the bout could only happen on an Indian reservation though.<\/p>\n

\"Michael-Bisping\"<\/p>\n

“My body is good Ariel, don’t worry about me. I’m coming back, Jake Paul is gonna f*cking get it!”, Bisping said laughing. “If he wants to, I would. Stick me on an Indian reservation, two rounds. Boom, out cold!”<\/p>\n

When asked if he’s serious about beating Paul, he answered, “Why wouldn’t I believe that? He’s not! [a tremendous boxer], you’re talking to The Count baby! I think I can beat him, I don’t know about two rounds.”<\/p>\n

Michael Bisping joking about his interest in fighting Jake Paul is far from surprising. In 2021, the former UFC middleweight champion he was offered a fight with the YouTuber, but turned it down.<\/p>\n

His turndown led to Tyron Woodley getting the opportunity, and fighting Paul twice last year. ‘The Problem Child’ won both of their bouts, with their December rematch being a knockout<\/a> of the year candidate.<\/p>\n
