One of those fighters is former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.<\/p>\n<p>Dos Santos called for an MMA showdown with the boxer in a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/11\/27\/20983634\/junior-dos-santos-welcome-tyson-fury-mma-rematch-boxing-ufc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Fighting<\/a>, also adding that he&#8217;d be happy to rematch Tyson Fury in boxing down the road.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WG7kGK\">\u201cBoth. I\u2019d do both,\u201d dos Santos said. \u201cIt would be perfect to fight Tyson Fury in MMA, as he wishes, and then, with a win over him, fight him in boxing, in his world. He would come to my world and then I would go to his world. It would be the pinnacle, a great moment for both sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Junior dos Santos does not expect Tyson Fury to move to MMA long-term, but does expect the boxer to compete in at least one MMA bout. If Fury does make the move, the Brazilian would love to fight him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bsfw1o\">\u201cI don\u2019t think he comes (full time) to MMA, but I think he\u2019ll fight once,\u201d dos Santos said. \u201cIt would be very interesting. I see the UFC going that direction as well with Zuffa Boxing and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/fighter\/2230\/dana-white\">Dana White<\/a> being a huge boxing fan. We saw him meeting Floyd Mayweather again, and that\u2019s extremely beneficial for all of us. It would be a great opportunity for me. I\u2019ve always dreamed with the opportunity of fighting a great boxer. It\u2019s my area, it\u2019s where I feel most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UdLcKI\">\u201cTyson Fury is an excellent boxer, has really long arms and move well for a guy his size,\u201d dos Santos continued. \u201cI think he can definitely make an interesting fight in MMA.<\/p>\n<p id=\"lCSawx\">\u201cI\u2019ve challenged (Anthony) Joshua in the past, and so did (Stipe) Miocic, and he played like he wasn\u2019t listening. They stay in a safer place acting like they are better than MMA fighters, but that\u2019s not the truth. The truth is, we\u2019re more complete fighters and we can give them a hard night, even in their own sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does a fight between Junior dos Santos and Tyson Fury interest you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/29\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury makes a widely rumored jump to MMA, he&#8217;ll have a long list of fighters looking to welcome him to the cage.
