Nate Diaz and Jake Paul
Michael “The Count” Bisping is a legend in combat sports. His trash-talking and inspirational run to the middleweight title endeared him in the eyes of many fans. Now retired, he’s never been shy about making bold claims or remarks. And he certainly hasn’t been the biggest advocate of YouTuber turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Before the fight, Michael Bisping claimed that Paul had made a mistake by picking Anderson Silva as his opponent. Bisping claimed Silva would knock out Paul. Now, after Paul beat Anderson Silva, Bisping has swallowed his words. And in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, he makes it perfectly clear that he acknowledges Paul’s abilities.
Bisping responded to a video in which Tommy Fury discredits Paul’s abilities and he says: “Anderson is still a formidable opponent. Jake Paul got the job done He shouldn’t be talking shit. Gotta give Paul some credit.” Later in the video, Bisping also denounces the rumors of the fight being fixed.
The Count also gave his thoughts on Paul fighting Diaz, who had an altercation with Paul’s crew at the fight. This led to a callout in the post-fight interview. Bisping acknowledged how Nate is good at several aspects of MMA and said that the fight would earn him a lot of money.
However, about the result, his thoughts were: “If Nate Diaz were to fight him, at that weight. 200 pounds. I don’t think it would end well for him…He does it. Jake beats Nate Diaz too” Bisping has made it clear that he doesn’t feel like Diaz would do well in a fight against Jake Paul. But, fans of the Stockton Slugger know that underestimating him is the biggest mistake an opponent can make.
