Stipe Miocic has had a tumultuous 48 hours.

He's gone from UFC title challenger to odd man out to potential opponent for Jon Jones' heavyweight debut to a man who reportedly turned down a $1 million opportunity.

At least, that's the storyline if you believe everything you read on Twitter.

When Cain Velasquez bowed out of his Feb. 6 title fight at UFC 196 against Fabricio Werdum with a back injury, Miocic stepped up to bat, offering his services for the golden opportunity. Wish granted - Miocic was officially named the next UFC heavyweight title challenger shortly thereafter.

Then, Werdum backed out of the fight with an injury too, leaving the UFC scrambling to patch together the event.

While all this was happening, the return of former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones began to heat up. One tweet turned into gospel, and fans buzzed, eagerly anticipating the heavyweight debut - and UFC return - of "Bones."

This is where the truth stops, according to Miocic's manager, Greg Kalikas.

"I can tell you for a fact that the Jon Jones title fight was never offered to Stipe nor was any other fight," Kalikas told MMAFighting.com "He [Miocic] didn't turn down anything. All we've been told is that the UFC is waiting on Werdum's medical reports to determine where things stand. We are anxiously awaiting the results ourselves and looking forward to locking down a date. Both Stipe and Fabricio mentioned on Twitter they were open for a Memorial Day fight, so we're hoping the UFC will oblige.

"Nothing is set in stone. But who knows how long Cain will be down, and it doesn't sound like Werdum's injuries are serious, so this [Miocic vs. Werdum] makes the most sense. Both fighters want it and there's no doubt the fans prefer to see Stipe vs Werdum right now. The champion said himself he will fight Stipe, and we expect him to honor his word. Hopefully, it's not serious with Cain and he will get back into the mix soon when he is healthy."

And that fight with Jones? It was never so much as offered, according to Kalikas. Miocic never turned it down, because there was nothing to turn down.

"Honestly, I believe he [Miocic] would have taken it [the fight with Jones], but it was never even discussed since it was never on the table," Kalikas said. "Especially if it was for the belt, I don't see Stipe turning it down. But for him it's all about that title regardless of opponent or pay. That I know for sure."
