'Bones', meanwhile, is set to defend his newly-minted belt against Stipe Miocic in July.

Speaking to Joe Rogan inside the Octagon, he said: "I've been working for this for a long time. A lot of people thought I wouldn't even be coming back. I've been faithful to my goal. I've been faithful to the mission.

"Stipe Miocic, I hope you're training," he added. "You're the greatest heavyweight of all time and I want you. I want you real bad."

As for 'The Last Stylebender', he's coming off a devastating loss to Alex Pereira, but they run it back next month at UFC 287.
