Michael Bisping recently weighed in on the upcoming boxing match between Anderson Silva and Jake Paul.

'The Spider' will take on Jake Paul in an eight-round professional boxing match on October 29 at the Desert Diamond Arena in Arizona. Paul will face the toughest test of his career as he faces a competitor of Silva's caliber.

The Brazilian is known for his tactful mind games and for messing with his opponents psychologically. In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, former middleweight champ Michael Bisping commented on Silva's manipulation tactics against his opponents during his fights.

Explaining how Silva is a dangerous opponent for 'The Problem Child,' 'The Count' said:

"This is what Anderson does. You know, sometimes in the UFC, he would drop his opponents and then he would help them up, you know. I remember when I fought him, I dropped him at the end of the first round, he came up to give me a hug. What he was doing now was saying to me, 'Oh look here, you managed to land the glove on the great Anderson Silva. Come here, give me a hug.' It's just condescension. He is just taking the piss. He is mocking people. But that's okay because we're fighting and that's what you allowed to do...The mind is the most valuable weapon."

Michael Bisping breaks down potential Khamzat Chimaev vs. Colby Covington matchup

Appearing in a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Michael Bisping put forth his thoughts on how a potential matchup between Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev would turn out.

If the match is set for three rounds, Bisping believes Chimaev will have an advantage over 'Chaos.' However, according to the Brit if the game goes to five rounds the American will undoubtedly have the upper hand.

"He's [Chimaev] extremely powerful, he has great wrestling, he has great striking, he's super aggressive and wastes no time. He probably doesn't pace himself too well... Khamzat can go three rounds. We've seen him do that before. But five rounds, that's a different kettle of fish. If it was [five rounds] I would see Colby having a real advantage."
