The two would receive the call to fight just two weeks ago after the original main event between reigning undisputed champion, Jon Jones, and Stip Miocic was postponed after Jones suffere an injury.

That’s the fight I really, really want. And I think that me and Jon in the U.K., that’s just a dream for everybody. The UFC, fans, everybody will love that.”
