Michael Bisping has called out former foe Anderson Silva and YouTube star Jake Paul for exhibition boxing matches in a joking message on his podcast.
The former UFC middleweight champion earned his shot at the belt by beating Silva in a brutal five-round contest back in 2016, and made the tongue-in-cheek claim that would be willing to offer his old rival a rematch. He has also made another call out to Paul, with whom he has shared a back-and-forth for most of this year.
Bisping is essentially unable to be sanctioned for a legitimate boxing match due to the revelation that he fought his entire run as UFC champion with one eye. His inability to get sanctioned cost him a mega-money deal to face Paul in a professional fight, but an exhibition could be a solution.
