Schaub then mentioned that he made Paul understand why that might not be in his best interests. He said, “I know you say, you don’t care about getting validated from the fight community, stuff like that. But you do. And, I said, I’m telling you, calling out Bisping ain’t the move. He has one eye and a fake knee, He’s retired. I said leave him alone.”

Meanwhile, Rogan pitched in, and stated, “Not only that. No one would sanction it. He literally can’t see. Who’s gonna sanction a fighter where a fighter has one eye.”
