‘F*** Zouma’ – UFC legend Michael Bisping fires chilling warning to shamed West Ham star after cat kick video
UFC legend Michael Bisping fired a warning at shamed West Ham star Kurt Zouma who was filmed kicking and slapping his cat.
The French defender has since been fined £250,000 and had his cats taken away by the RSPCA.
Sponsors Adidas have also dropped Zouma, and club West Ham have seen companies suspend their sponsorship of the club.
Zouma’s brother Yoan was also suspended by his club Dagenham & Redbridge for his role in filming the incident.
The National League side will not field Yoan until the RSPCA have concluded their investigation into the disturbing video.
And any further action ‘deemed necessary’ will be taken after the RSPCA has concluded its inquiries.
Nonetheless, it didn’t stop former Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Bisping from sending a chilling warning to the Hammers defender.
On his Michael Bisping Podcast, he said: “F*** that guy. F*** him. And I hope he gets his comeuppance.”

He continued: “F*** Zouma, simple as that. And If I see him I’ll kick him in the face. Stay out of my way Zouma.”
Bisping isn’t the only UFC star to call Zouma out.
Jan Blachowicz took to Twitter and put the 27-year-old on blast.
He tweeted: “If you are so tough mother****er, @KurtZouma, try to kick me. What a piece of s***. No tolerance for animal cruelty.”
Five years in jail under tough new laws
ANIMAL abusers now face tougher prison sentences under a new bill passed in Parliament last year.
The worst offenders can be caged for five years instead of just six months under the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill.
Dog fight organisers, farmers who neglect horses and thugs who abuse puppies or kittens can all be hit by the long jail term.
The new legislation — championed by PM Boris Johnson and his animal-loving wife Carrie — came after a four-year campaign by Battersea Cats & Dogs Home in London.
It makes CCTV mandatory in every slaughterhouse in England and bans the export of live animals for fattening and slaughter.
Standards in zoos must be improved and household pets even have their feelings protected.
The law says animals with a backbone have a right to happiness as well as avoiding suffering.
The Battersea home launched the crusade after discovering fly-tippers were given harsher sentences than animal abusers.
When the bill came into effect last June, comedian Ricky Gervais, 60 — a dedicated animal rights campaigner — said: “Justice will finally be served to anyone who perpetuates animal cruelty and a proper punishment brought in.
“It’s one I hope will serve as a deterrent to anyone who’d contemplate harming an innocent creature.”
