After having two bouts fall through for UFC 219 last weekend, Jimmie Rivera is calling for a scrap with former bantamweight champ, Cody Garbrandt.

Initially, Rivera was supposed to fight Dominick Cruz on December 30th, but the former champ had to withdraw due to a reported, broken arm. John Lineker stepped in as a replacement, but he had to pull out due to an infected tooth.

Recently Garbrandt reported that he’s healthy and eager to fight, and Rivera responded:

Rivera (21-1) hasn’t fought since July, when he earned a decision win over Thomas Almeida. Garbrandt (11-1) fought in November and lost the title to T.J. Dillashaw via a second round, stoppage.
