Former UFC champ Michael Bisping says he was offered Jake Paul fight

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping says he was offered a fight with Jake Paul before the YouTube star turned boxer fought Ben Askren.

Paul defeated Askren by first-round knockout last month in their fight at Triller Fight Club. The win was Paul’s third of his professional boxing career and he has since been calling for fights with household names in the MMA world.

Bisping has been retired since 2018 but he wouldn’t rule out a return to fighting if the price was right. Talking to LowKickMMA, Bisping revealed Paul’s team sent him a fight contract but the money was too low.
