Jimi Manuwa och Daniel Cormier går loss mot varandra på Twitter – och nu verkar det som att en titelmatch mellan herrarna är i görningen.
Sedan titelförsvaret mot Anthony Johnson (22-6) har det varit hårda ord fram och tillbaka mellan lätt tungviktsmästaren Daniel Cormier (19-1) och den topprankade engelsmannen Jimi Manuwa (17-2).
Tjafset har nu trappats upp rejält de senaste dagarna.

Nu verkar det som att parterna de facto har erbjudits titelmatchen – och tackat ja.

Med andra ord ser det ut som att Jon Jones (22-1) kommer behöva vänta på titelchansen. Inget är dock officiellt ännu och det finns just nu inga övriga rapporter om var och när en titelmatch mellan Cormier och Manuwa skulle planeras äga rum.
Manuwa, 37, kommer just nu från två raka knockoutvinster, senast mot Corey Anderson (9-3). Cormier, 38, har å sin sida samlat ihop fyra raka segrar och försvarat bältet två gånger.
