While Jake Paul awaits other opponents upon his return, a UFC Hall of Famer criticized his behavior after fight negotiations fell through. Michael Bisping came out in defense of Canelo Alvarez placeholder image amid constant attacks from the YouTuber and did not mince words. During a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, the former UFC fighter did not hold back, calling Paul an idiot.

"Jake Paul is back making a fool of himself. Calling Canelo Alvarez placeholder image, making videos, dancing around with a sombrero and no shirt. Showing no respect and saying that Canelo Alvarez placeholder image is dodging him and showing him contracts and apparently they were all signed to fight but then he gets scared and goes to Saudi Arabia and sells his soul and everything else. Shut up, Jake Paul,” Bisping said.

“I am very happy that Canelo Alvarez placeholder image will not be decorating the ring, stepping into the ring with that impostor, with that fake, with that wannabe. Jake Paul He's been a tremendous businessman, okay? He's not a fighter," he concluded.

This isn't the first time Bisping has criticized 'Problem Boy' during his boxing career. After Bisping and Paul were briefly linked to a fight, the veteran repeatedly downplayed the YouTuber's accomplishments and disparaged the polarizing boxer.
