This is where I stand. I have no problem with a fighter of his stature choosing fights at this point in his career. I just don't think he should hold up an entire division. Those guys have dreams of fighting for and winning a UFC title. Something that all mixed martial artists only have a limited time to succeed at. Vacate or defend period.
