Social media star turned boxer Jake Paul sent a not-so-pleasant message to UFC legend Michael Bisping.

Paul has been known to ruffle some feathers, especially when it comes to those who support UFC President Dana White. "The Problem Child" has publicly blasted the UFC boss for how he treats fighters.

It appears Paul believes that Bisping is one of White's yes-men, as he recently sent "The Count" an insulting DM on Twitter. During an edition of the "Believe You Me" podcast, Bisping detailed the message.

"Checked my DMs on Twitter because there's a little notification," Bisping said. "I had one, looked at it, Jake Paul. He's on the Twitter DMs. I don't know what promoted this or, what's the word I'm looking for? Prompted, there we go. 'How do Dana's nuts taste.'"

Co-host Anthony Smith, who competes in the UFC light heavyweight division, asked Bisping what he did to upset Paul. While "The Count" initially didn't have an answer, he quickly realized what may have led to the message.

"I don't know," Bisping said. "I mean, we've had our back and forth on Twitter many, many times, but we were kind of cordial last time and then he was trying to get me to join a fighters association and stuff, so I just kind of backed away from the conversation politely. He goes, 'Oh, you went dark. No interest in helping fighters.' I'm not having this conversation, and then today, 'How do Dana's nuts taste,' I said, 'How did Tommy Fury's amateur uppercut taste?' Then I was like, 'That was the worst comeback ever, that was terrible.' I should've thought about it."

Paul is scheduled for a cruiserweight boxing match with former UFC title contender Nate Diaz on August 5. He's looking to bounce back from the first loss of his pro boxing career when he dropped a split decision to Tommy Fury earlier this year.
