Weidman wasn't available because he got sick and tired of Anderson fucking around and went in for optional elbow surgery. As soon as Anderson was sure that Weidman was out he couldn't get a fight fast enough. All he does is spread rumors and misinformation to try and avoid defending his title for the longest possible time.
Anderson is the MW champion, if he wants to stay that he needs to defend his title, it's as simple as that. If he wants to go running after P4P greatness he should vacate and move up. Moving down and fighting a smaller fighter really doesn't do anything for his legacy.
In the other major sports that the UFC is trying to compete with championships are revered above all else. Yet Anderson treats his belt like an accessory he only feels like wearing once a year. In a sport where one man, Dana White, has unparalled power and influence to allow someone to disrespect the title is a travesty.
For the record I don't care if it's Weidman who Anderson fights. It's my preferred choice but I'd take anybody in the top 5. Except whomever he beat in his last defense. I honestly cannot remember who that is because it's been so long.

Anderson also has the same good reason not to fight Jones, that GSP has not to fight him. |
BJ CHOSE to fight GSP. He knew he was going against a bigger stronger better fighter. He took the risk. As soon as BJ's campaign to get that fight was successful GSP had no problems with the fight.
Anderson is CHOOSING to only try and fight superfights and he's trying to angle that superfight so he goes in with all the advantages.
GSP isn't saying anything about Anderson. He's kind of concerned with defending his title. He certainly wasn't trying to fight Penn when that fight was made.
Don't even try to compare Anderson and GSP. It's apples and oranges. Or a coward and a champion rather.
