Junior dos Santos, who was recently called out to fight Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett, isn't interested in either of them for his next bout on the octagon. Interviewed by Tatame.com.br, 'Cigano' remembered that "The Reem" had his chance to make a fight between them happen and mentioned that the Dutch Heavyweight will face Ben Rothwell at UFC Fight Night: Mousasi vs. Souza, on September 5.

"They are challenging me to promote themselves. I had two dates to fight Overeem. First, he was caught in a drug test and then got hurt. I think that he's saying this to give an answer to his fans. There is no sense of him talking about this now, he also has an opponent to face."

To JDS, the ideal situation would to have his bout against Stipe Miocic rescheduled.

"They (UFC) will likely put me to fight against Miocic because it's a bout that they wanted. I truly believe that he'll be my next opponent. I think that it's a good idea. It would be nice to everyone watch. Two good Heavyweights, good boxers to punch each other. I think that the fans would enjoy it."

Dos Santos vs. Miocic should have happened at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale but 'Cigano' hurt his hand during his camp for the fight and was replaced by Fabio Maldonado. Miocic needed only 35 seconds to beat the short notice replacement via TKO on May 31.
