Logan Paul has been criticised by UFC legend Michael Bisping after his call out of Paddy Pimblett.
YouTube star Paul named Pimblett as the opponent he would want to face if he ever competed in the UFC. Pimblett competed at 155lb in the promotion and has fought at featherweight in his career, whilst Paul has weighed in at 190lb for his boxing fights.
Pimblett is known for piling on weight outside of training camp, weighing 200lbs just two weeks after his win at UFC London. Paul suggested the pair could meet at 185lbs for a fight, but Bisping has mocked the American for not challenging someone his own size.
"I'm not trying to be funny or insulting, I'm genuinely curious. Why is Logan Paul such a coward, such a wimp, such a p****? Why is Jake Paul doing the same things? Neither of these men want to fight somebody their own size, similar age, same god damn sport" Bisping said.

"Logan Paul just competed at Wrestlemania. God bless him, he had an amazing career as a YouTuber, he boxed Floyd Mayweather at an exhibition bout and did very well. So I'm not hating on the guy for just the sake of it.
"[Paddy] is a great fighter and is going to have a tremendous career in the UFC. He's also a lightweight, 5'9". Logan Paul, you are 6'2", you looked gigantic when you were in the ring with Floyd Mayweather."
Paul insists he is serious about competing in the UFC, but only wants to fight someone who can "sell tickets". The 27-year-old hasn't fought since going the distance with Mayweather in an exhibition fight last year, with the event selling over one million pay-per-view buys.
Bisping labelled Paul as a "bully" for his call out of Pimblett and told him to fight someone his own size if he competes in the UFC. "You're talking about coming over to the UFC. You're referring to the fact that he blows up in between weights, you're right," he continued.
"When he's in shape at his optimal fight weight, he weighs in at 155lb. Logan Paul, why are you such a coward? It's just crazy, that's called being a bully."
"Any self respecting man that is the size of Logan Paul does not call out Paddy Pimblett. It's just weak, you wanna go your weight class or above. That's the gangster move, it's not the p**** move, it's not the b**** move which is what they're doing."
