Former BAMMA world middleweight champion and current UFC fighter Scott Askham (12-1) responded to a fan on Twitter who asked whether or not the Brit would be interested in fighting The Ultimate Fighter season 17 contestant Clint Hester (11-4).
In fact, the Doncaster based fighter went one further and said he "would whoop any of the TUF17 contestants ass!!"
For a season that included Kelvin Gastelum, Uriah Hall and Luke Barnatt, it's a pretty big statement from Askham.
If that was a call out, it merited a response from Hester who replied "legoo!!!!" which you could presume means he accepts the challenge.
Both men are coming off losses, with the Ludus Magnus fighter losing his UFC debut in Stockholm, receiving a unanimous decision to Magnus Cedenblad.
Meanwhile, "Headbussa" lost for the first time in his UFC career, as Robert Whittaker defeated him via TKO in Sydney, Australia.
What do you think, would you be interested in an Askham vs Hester match-up? Join in the debate on Facebook or Twitter.
UPDATE: Hester has since taken to Twitter and asked UFC President Dana White for the fight -
