What happened: Daniel Cormier says he personally went through negotiations to set up a wrestling match against Jon Jones, but that Jones declined a seven-figure offer to compete. According to Cormier, Jones turned down more than $1 million for a six-minute wrestling bout, and Cormier is convinced his longtime rival will not agree to grapple him.

Why it matters: The wrestling-match idea is the latest chapter in one of the sport's most enduring rivalries, giving fans a new way to imagine a settled score that two cage fights only deepened. Cormier framing the bout as something the promotion 'can't afford to pay' for underscores how far apart the two sides remain on making any version of a third meeting happen.

What to watch: Watch for Jones to respond publicly and for any indication the two camps revisit terms on a grappling exhibition.
