Matt Barnes and Serge Ibaka do not seem to be able to get along on the basketball court, and now the NBA players are joking about moving their disagreement to another arena.

Barnes appeared on ESPN's SportsNation on Tuesday, where he talked about his feud with the Thunder power forward, saying that he is always ready and willing to scrap with Ibaka, even right there in the studio.

Ibaka heard about the comments on Twitter and responded by tweeting at UFC and Dana White to see if the MMA promotion would be interested in seeing the NBA vets square off in the octagon.

The dislike between the two forwards goes all the way back to March 2013, when Ibaka was fined for a low blow he delivered to Barnes during a game between the Clippers and Thunder.
