However, despite Lobov’s inclination to accept the fight, it would seem that UFC President Dana White is the one who isn’t keen on pitting the two against each other in the Octagon. In case you didn’t know… Mike ‘The Truth’ Jackson was the recipient of widespread criticism following what many perceived to be a lackluster showing against the former pro wrestler.
