Jake Paul continued his run of beating MMA fighters this past weekend when he defeated former UFC welterweight Mike Perry, but UFC legend and rival of Paul, Michael Bisping, wasn’t impressed.
‘The Problem Child’ once again showcased that years of dedicating himself to the sport of boxing has somewhat paid off, as he picked up his 10th professional win, finishing former UFC fighter, Mike Perry, in round six.
Although ‘Platinum’ Perry was probably the toughest MMA fighter Jake Paul has handpicked thus far, he had only competed in boxing once prior, and that came in 2015 when he was also beaten.
Michael Bisping slams Jake Paul’s ‘reckless’ performance against Perry
Prior to Paul’s fight this past Saturday, Michael Bisping grew furious at the 27-year-old’s decision to continue handpicking undersized MMA fighters as his boxing opponents. So much so, that he even admitted that he is considering coming out of retirement to fight the Internet sensation himself.
Despite ‘The Problem Child’ picking up the sixth round TKO, Bisping was nowhere near impressed with the 27-year-old’s performance as he labeled it ‘reckless’.
“That was a farce. That was ridiculous, that fight should never even have taken place in the first place because it was a sh**show,” Bisping began to explain in a video on his YouTube channel.
“Technically it wasn’t a good fight. Technically it wasn’t a good performance. Technically a lot of other boxers out there are going to be looking at that and kind of laughing.
“Somebody the same size, the same build with the same strength and power of the same experience would’ve had a field day with (Jake Paul). He was all over the place, his feet were crossing all over the place, he was swinging wild, it was reckless,” the UFC legend continued.
Bisping wasn’t the only UFC star to criticize Paul’s performance, as ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor also chimed in and gave his thoughts on the 27-year-old.
Bisping reacts to Jake Paul’s callout of Alex Pereira
Bizarrely, following his win over ‘Platinum’ Perry, Paul called out the current UFC light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira.
Again, though, it is another of the 27-year-old’s farcical callouts that likely can’t come to fruition, considering ‘Poatan’s’ position with the UFC.
“The sh**show continues,” Bisping said. “Jake Paul says he wants to challenge himself, he wants to fight the best fighters on the planet, so he calls out Alex Pereira who he knows damn well that fight will never materialize, so of course he’s gonna call him out.”
The UFC commentator went on to look through the current cruiserweight boxing rankings, claiming that anyone in the top 10 would deal him a ‘devastating knockout’.
“Anyone in that top 10 would smoke him, they would deal him a devastating knockout, they would land crushing blows and he would be sh***** his pants in there and that’s why I still don’t have respect because it was pure bully boy tactics,” Bisping stated.
Paul is unlikely to face a cruiserweight boxer next as he continues to call the name, Mike Tyson, as their originally scheduled fight was postponed.
