A potential fight between two of the world's top 155-pound fighters outside of the Ultimate Fighting Championship is one step closer to fruition.

"If the stars align and we can work out all the terms and conditions and timing, we'd do it," Coker told MMAjunkie.com. "Of course we would. Why wouldn't we? Let's go do this."
