Current Bellator lightweight champ Will Brooks has called for a fight between himself and Shinya Aoki via his official Twitter account Thursday night.
Brooks who successfully defended his title last weekend against Dave Jansen, says he thinks that Akoi is ‘ducking’ him and wants this fight to finally happen.
He and Aoki were set to battle in 2012 at Dream 18 in Japan the bout was cancelled.
Bellator president Scott Coker spoke on the matter in January.
"If that's something Will really wants, we can start working towards that. I just didn't know if that was important to him. We have a good relationship with ONE FC and I know Shinya fights in IGF as well. I can make a couple of calls and see what we can put together," Coker said.
Akoi has not commented publicly yet.
