Daniel Cormier perplexed by Jake Paul’s callout of Michael Bisping, suggests Anderson Silva instead

Daniel Cormier is not on board with Jake Paul’s latest attempt to find an opponent.

The YouTube star and sometimes boxer Paul has stirred up a back-and-forth over social media with retired former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. Cormier is confused why the 25-year-old would call out Bisping, who hasn’t fought since retiring from MMA in 2017.

“When Mike says, you want to call out a 43-year-old with no knees, who can’t see, then send the contract, what is this?” Cormier questioned in a video posted to his YouTube channel. “Like, what is the point? Some will say, ‘It’s simple, D.C., he wants easy fights.’ Well, Michael Bisping, even with one eye, is not an easy fight. Don’t think for a second that Jake Paul is gonna go run through Michael Bisping in the way that he did Tyron Woodley.
