Michael Bisping uses Jake Paul as example to highlight issue with Jon Jones

Michael Bisping is not a fan of UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ mentality.

Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) retained his heavyweight title with a Round 3 TKO of Stipe Miocic in Saturday’s UFC 309 main event. He continued to dismiss interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall and said he’d only continue fighting if he was matched up with light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira.

Jones did later say that he’d need “f*ck you” money to fight Aspinall, but Bisping has an issue with “Bones” going after an easier stylistic matchup. He compared his approach to Jake Paul, who’s coming off a unanimous decision win over 58-year-old Mike Tyson this past Friday in their Netflix headliner.
