With ‘Bones’ successfully moving up to heavyweight last March, the chances of seeing the two men scrap inside the Octagon seem reasonably far-fetched. Still, thanks to a recent video clip shared by @hokage_mma on Twitter, we can glimpse what it would be like to see the two MMA megastars go toe-to-toe.

The clip begins with both men engaging in a rather serious-looking staredown, but the tension is quickly broken when both men break character and embrace. From there, the two titleholders go at it in an impromptu sparring session that ends with ‘The Last Stylebender’ shooting in for a takedown.
