Michael Bisping is not best pleased with Jake Paul after he took aim at Conor McGregor.
Paul defeated BKFC star Mike Perry by a brutal KO in his latest boxing fight, and McGregor took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to ‘fire’ the American from the promotion he recently acquired a stake in.

The ‘Problem Child’ then stuck up for his rival after his supposed sacking, insisting that McGregor ducked a fight with him.
He tweeted: “1) Mike Perry is a f****** beast and has a lot more balls than that little leprechaun.
“2) Where all those MMA experts at that said Mike Perry was going to end me?”
Former UFC champion Bisping took exception to Paul’s words and was unhappy with his criticism of McGregor.
He said on X: “The ‘little leprechaun’ [very original by the way] is one of the greatest fighters the UFC has ever seen.
“But he also won the featherweight title. Do your thing.
“But please for f*** sake stop trying to sound tough.
“Fight a boxer d****** or at least someone your size bully boy.”

After leaping to the defence of McGregor, Bisping went on to criticise Paul for matching himself against Perry.
He added on his YouTube channel: “Coming into this fight, I think myself, the whole fight community, everyone was behind Mike Perry, but the reality was he was too small.
“There are weight classes in boxing, in combat sports for a reason. Jake Paul was about twice the size of him.
“The weight difference is going to be insane. Well done Jake Paul if that’s what you want to see. That was a farce.
“That was ridiculous. That fight should never have even taken place in the first place because it was a s*** show.”
Bisping and Paul have feuded for several years, with ‘The Count’ critical of the YouTube star’s boxing career.
The British star even contemplated coming out of retirement himself to face Paul in the boxing ring.
He even sought out licensing for the contest, but a settling of their online feud was never realistic.
