‘F*** Kurt Zouma, if I see him I’d kick him in the face’ – UFC legend Michael Bisping blasts West Ham defender over vile cat abuse video

Michael Bisping is the latest name from MMA to condemn West Ham defender Kurt Zouma after a video of him abusing his pet cat went public.

The Frenchman was caught kicking and slapping his cat around his home after his brother, Dagenham and Redbridge’s Yoan Zouma, uploaded the video to Snapchat.

Boot sponsors adidas have dropped the centre-back and he was fined the maximum two weeks wages by West Ham for the incident, though he did play for the club against Watford just days after the incident.

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz dared Zouma to come and try to kick him in the same manner and now UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping has taken it a step further, speaking on his YouTube channel.

“What a f***ing ass****. What a f***ing ass**** simple as that,” Bisping started.

“I just don’t understand that. And I know they’ll be people like ‘you liberal p****’ but listen, that’s a f***ing poor, innocent little cat.

"It’s a pet, it’s got feelings.

“This guy’s got a great life, he’s living in a beautiful house, he’s a professional footballer in the Premier League earning tons of money and he chooses to payback the world, or society, by torturing cats. Come on, what the f***, man.

"F*** Zouma, simple as that and if I see him I'd kick him in the face. Stay out of my way Zouma."

Bisping appreciated Blachowicz speaking out against Zouma and he echoed those sentiments completely.

“Well done, Jan Blachowicz, because I’d like to kick that f***er in the head as well and he deserves it.

"Laughing his head off [as he attacked the cat]… who is he showing off to? Is that his children in the house?

“F*** that guy. He needs a good ass kicking, that’s what he needs,” Bisping finished.

Zouma, 27, issued an apology on the matter where he insisted this was an isolated incident and the car is ‘cherished’ by his family.

"I also want to say how deeply sorry I am to anyone who was upset by the video," Zouma said. "I would like to assure everyone that our two cats are perfectly fine and healthy.

"They are loved and cherished by our entire family, and this behaviour was an isolated incident that will not happen again."

The RSPCA have since taken Zouma's cats into their care and they're unlikely to be returned if he is charged.

Zouma has kept his career as a professional footballer it seems, but he might want to stay away from any UFC events for the time being.

UFC London takes place for the first time in three years next month on March 19.
