I know that I\u2019m on the radar for May. I\u2019ve got to make sure my body is read for May. That\u2019s what I\u2019m planning for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI threw my name out there for a few different opponents, but Joe Silva is ultimately going to make the call. He\u2019s going to decide who\u2019s available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said Junior Dos Santos would be great, Stipe (Miocic), especially after those two warred \u2013 and Stipe is a guy that\u2019s on the top-10 that\u2019s on a loss that I wouldn\u2019t mind fighting because he is still ranked high. Andrei Arlovski, because he\u2019s off of a win, he got bumped up ahead of me. All three guys are ranked ahead of me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t control who I\u2019m going to fight, but I did ask. I said, \u2018Please, I just want to fight somebody in the top-10 that\u2019s ranked ahead of me.\u2019 That\u2019s who I\u2019d like to fight. Obviously, preferably, you always want to fight a guy on a win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI win my next two fights, I think I can go into it 100 percent, and I don\u2019t think anyone can question it or deny it.  I think beating that type of opponent in the next two fights, I think I\u2019m free and clear to go ahead and call upon for a title fight.
