The UFC heavyweight title has always eluded him, however, and ‘The Reem’ says his career would not be complete without having UFC gold in his possession.
Speaking to MMA Junkie ahead of what will be his 91st professional fight at UFC on ESPN 7, ‘The Demolition Man’ said he plans to capture the UFC heavyweight title and then retire within the next two years, etching his name into the history books as one of the most accomplished heavyweights of all time.
