FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Michael bisping lays down challenge to jake paul after being allowed to fight | History Defined

Michael Bisping has told Jake Paul the ball is in his court after finding a location for a potential fight with YouTube star.

Now-retired UFC legend Bisping was named on Paul's six-man hitlist as the American offered him $1million plus a pay-per-view bonus if he can get licensed to fight. Bisping, who passed pre-fight medical checks for years despite fighting with one eye, has now found a venue in Canada.

The Tsuut'ina combative commission, who are located outside of Calgary, are an Indian reserve that sanction professional fights. They reached out to Bisping after the UFC legend suggested he could fight Paul on an Indian reservation as bouts are not sanctioned by state commissions in these areas.
