Earlier in an appearance on the 'Believe You Me' podcast, Michael Bisping stated he was offered $500,000 to fight Jake Paul. The offer came before 'The Problem Child' fought Tyron Woodley the first time around.

He said:

​

"I’m happy for him. I don’t know what he’s gonna get paid, but I’ll tell you right now, I was offered $500,000 to fight Jake Paul. So I would assume it’s probably more, because if the fight’s happening… So good for him. He might go out there and he might be getting $1 million. And I couldn’t be happier for Tyron, because he really deserves it."
