Mike Perry had no business being in the ring with Jake Paul, at least according to UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping.
Paul (10-1) finished Perry (0-2) by sixth-round TKO in their cruiserweight boxing match this past Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. Bisping pointed to the obvious size difference between the two fighters, as it was evident Perry struggled with Paul’s range.
“Coming into this fight, I think myself, I think the whole fight community, everyone was behind Mike Perry, but the reality was he was too small,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “There are weight classes in boxing, in combat sports for a reason.
“It was only until the fight started – when I saw them both with their shirts off and just the gloves and the shoes on and the shorts – that I realized just the discrepancy in the size. Jake Paul was about twice the size of him. The weight difference (was) going to be insane.”
Bisping ridiculed Paul for continuing to take on MMA fighters. Paul called out UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, as well as Conor McGregor.
“Well done to Jake Paul if that’s what you want to see,” Bisping said. “That was a farce. That was ridiculous. That fight should have never even taken place in the first place because it was a sh*t show. Jake Paul was by far the bigger guy and, as I’ve said, there are weight classes for a reason.
“Jake Paul grinds my gears. Let’s be honest: He does because of all the sh*t talk, of how great that he thinks he is. Then he cherry picks these opponents that are way smaller and less experienced.”
“The Problem Child” will face an experienced boxer next, but it will be 58-year-old Mike Tyson on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
