Since then he <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/stipe-miocic\/stipe-miocic-eyes-francis-ngannou-trilogy-i-want-to-get-back-whats-mine\/\">has made it clear his goal is to get his title back<\/a> but recently he has had some dispute with the UFC about his contract and what&#8217;s next for him. Now, the former heavyweight champ revealed he is planning to meet with the UFC next month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to have a sit down here in September with Dana,\u201d Miocic said to <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2021\/08\/ufc-news-stipe-miocic-next-fight-ngannou-gane-jones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ll figure it out from there. \u2026 We\u2019ll hopefully figure that out in the next month. We\u2019ll get there. Dana has been texting me and everything is in negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stipe Miocic still says he hasn&#8217;t watched his loss to Ngannou at UFC 260 but says he will watch it soon. However, he is focused on what is next for him and he believes he deserves the chance to get the trilogy against Ngannou and get a chance to reclaim his belt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what I would love,\u201d Miocic said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I would (say title fight or bust). I\u2019m definitely aiming for that. I\u2019m not crying about it or anything, but I just feel like I deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Miocic doesn&#8217;t get an immediate title shot he says he will fight anyone but one name that <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/jon-jones\/stipe-miocic-has-accepted-a-fight-against-jon-jones-reveals-dana-white\/\">does interest him is Jon Jones<\/a>. &#8220;Bones&#8221; however, is focused on fighting for heavyweight gold as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll fight anyone,\u201d Stipe Miocic said. \u201cI\u2019ve said that from Day One. I\u2019ll fight anyone. \u2026 I\u2019ll fight anyone they put in front of me, but that\u2019s what you aim for, one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of all time.
