After their potential UFC 196 fight was scrapped on Monday, Fabricio Werdum reached out to Stipe Miocic on Twitter. Miocic took the opportunity to challenge Werdum to a fight in May.
I will fight against you @stipemiocicufc anytime after my recovery. I think you are a great fire fighter.

Alright @FabricioWerdum let's make it for Memorial Day weekend. I'll even let you ride next to MY belt in the fire truck during the parade.

It’s possible the UFC will book this fight, but the odds might be better that Cain Velasquez gets his rematch against Werdum.
