People are excited to see Luke Rockhold end his three-year hiatus and return to the Octagon against Paulo Costa at UFC 277. Hence, many are speculating about other combat stars potentially returning to action. Jason Parillo, who used to coach Rockhold’s former opponent, Michael Bisping, made some headlines when he spoke about ‘The Count’ returning as a boxer against Jake Paul.

Parillo said, “Yeah, I had a feeling that would come up. That guy gets a lot of attention. And, Bisping would fight him. Obviously, he would fight him, but I don’t know how the athletic commission’s going to go and pass Bisping on that one.”

“But you know, at the end of the day, you know, he’s done it before he can do it again. I see no problem with Jake Paul and Michael Bisping. Michael Bisping’s a fighter, you know and so is, you know, Jake Paul showing he’s a little bit of a fighter himself these days.”

The coach then went on to draw similarities between their personalities. Hence, if Bisping does indeed decide to fight Paul, it would be an interesting scene to watch. With their flamboyant personalities and ability to talk and create excitement within the crowd, it would be a pleasure for fans to watch them go back and forth inside and outside the ring.

Additionally, Bisping’s fans would get yet another chance to see him in action after a long time. His last UFC fight was back in 2017 against Kelvin Gastelum. ‘The Count’ lost two back-to-back fights before retiring.

Jake Paul took digs at UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping

Paul is known to call out several UFC personalities. This includes Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, and UFC President Dana White himself. In fact, he also made a diss track on White.

As a result, it is not surprising to see the boxer call out Bisping. In a tweet, Jake Paul wrote, “Dear @bisping, I challenge you to stop hosting your struggling podcast, get licensed to fight, and box me. Let’s see if that UFC belt and all the respect you have can help you beat me in a boxing match.”
