Jon Jones vs. Brock Lesnar?! Make it happen, Dana White.

It's still a long way from becoming a reality but the UFC president is reportedly going to begin talks with the pair of fighters representatives to see if a deal can be made.

Lesnar hasn't fought for the premiere MMA promotion since UFC 200 where he out-pointed Mark Hunt. Though the bout was ultimately overturned after he pissed hot.

Whereas Jones last competed at UFC 214. Just like Lesnar, he also won but the fight was ruled a no-contest due to a positive drug test.

As a result, both fighters are currently under USADA infringements.

The WWE superstar still has six months of his ban to run, while Jones is awaiting sentencing after failing a drug test administered in the build-up to his UFC 214 bout versus Daniel Cormier.

However, despite their absence away from the MMA bubble, Lesnar and Jones remain heavily linked with a blockbuster fight inside the famed Octagon.

White stoked speculation by talking up the potential heavyweight match-up while suggesting Lesnar and Jones are 'very interested' in fighting each other.

"Brock's WWE deal is up in the summer I think and I know he wants to fight. Jon Jones is very interested in Brock Lesnar and Brock is very interested in Jon Jones.

"I know he wants to fight, so I'm sure we'll end up getting that figured out.

"They both want it. It's a fun fight," he added.
