For his part, the American wants things to accelerate. "I have to try to focus on getting out of my UFC contract. It will be the most difficult part if this fight [against Francis Ngannou, editor's note] has to take place. I don't think Dana is interested in doing business with Francis, so doing it with MVP would probably be the only way to make it possible, and if we can get out of my contract, that would be perfect," the American champion added.
