“I was under the impression that [Dana White] was still kinda on the fence on wether he was gonna put me in front of Rashad or not, that’s assuming Rashad wins. He did offer me a fight with little Nogueira and I didn’t think the fans would be interested in that fight and not as much time as I’d like to prepare for a five round fight so I told him I’d wait and see what happens with the Rashad fight.

I’d like to fight Jones now rather than if I took that fight with Little Nog, I wouldn’t be fighting Jones for another eight, ninth months. I’m okay waiting a little bit. It was more about having the time to prepare and I did inquire to say hey, I would be interested in doing it if it was a three round fight I could have time to prepare.”
