Former UFC star ready to fight KSI after Wayne Bridge pulls out over 'deeply personal' comment
A big UFC star has offered to step in for Wayne BrIdge to fight KSI after the Premier League winner pulled out of their fight.
Immediately after the main event of the Misfits Boxing event last weekend, popular YouTuber stepped into the ring with Chelsea and Manchester City star Bridge for a a heated face-off ahead of their fight.
However, after the British influencer made personal comments about Bridge's former partner's alleged affair with John Terry, the Premier League winner decided to pull out of the fight.
But, with KSI still set to fight at an event later this year, a UFC star has offered to stand in to replace Bridge as the 31-year-old's opponent.

Former UFC middleweight Darren Till made his Misfits boxing debut on Saturday with an impressive knockout victory over Anthony Taylor, setting himself up for a superfight with some of the biggest names in influencer boxing.
However, it would appear that the MMA fighter now has his sights set on a bout with KSI, as he confirmed he'll be back in training after one week of relaxing to celebrate his win over Taylor.
Speaking to IFL TV, Till said: "I'll be ready for the date and I'm just going to train extra hard and if it is KSI, it is, and if it's not, it's not.
"I'm not going to particularly go looking for it. Misfits are with me now. So if it's KSI, it's KSI, but I won't be actively calling him out."
Till also confessed that he didn't agree with KSI's actions on Saturday night, but doesn't think that it was bad enough for Bridge to withdraw from the fight.
"I'm not a big fan of the whole getting personal about family members and wives and girlfriends," he added
"It's not really my style to really bring them in to the script. I probably could have done it with Tommy but I don't really like it.
"I don't think it was necessary to pull out after that but at the same time I don't see why KSI would say some of those things.
"It's not my style, but if other people want to do it, then that's up to them."
