If you're gonna demand half of a company's profits, you'd damn well better be fighting the best guys. Running from Ovareem was bullshit and it IS ducking competition. And frankly, you can't call yourself the best when there are a fuckload of guys standing in line to take you on and you go fight the guy at the back of said line. And of course people only care about what you've done lately. This isn't pro wrestling, you don't just get given titles on name power.

Even if he's old, he should still strive to fight the best. I'm not saying he should Chuck Liddell himself, but he could take after Randy Couture a little.

If he's not willing to fight guys on his level then he has no business fighting. The whole point is to fight better opponents and move up the ladder. MMA isn't about padding records to make a name for yourself. There's boxing for that. And no one except Savior thinks he hasn't fought anyone. He's just been avoiding doing it lately.
