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.

He just fought Werdum, someone who will probably be ranked around #5 when the new rankings come out. Werdum was a worthy opponent. And to be fair, Overeem looks like he's juiced to the max. Granted he passed a test. Fedor hasn't gone on record saying he won't fight Overeem, atleast that I'm aware of. If Fedor would have won, then he was probably going to fight Overeem, as there would be no one else to fight. If he won, and didnt fight him than we can say for certain he was avoiding him.
