I agree entirely. With him turning down a fight with another guy at the top of the division, there are going to be critics saying that he's taking the easy path to the title shot. I can only imagine what Bisping is going to have to say about this. Maybe he was just being smart because I don't think that he matches up all that well with Vitor.
