I've never heard of a fighter ducking another fighter that they already beat.
I've also never heard of a champ ducking an opponent from a higher weight class.

edgar was a former reigning champ with wins over penn. Aldo isnt scared of Pettis. I want to see this fight so all you pettis fanboys can finally keep quiet. Pettis is close to being overrated. if it wasnt for his win over Benson, he would be.

With all the talk of undeserved title shots lately (See: Sonnen, Diaz) by some UFC fans, it's funny how when a fighter finally takes a stand against someone they perceive as an illegitimate opponent, there's nothing but backlash against the champion for standing his ground.

Just goes to show how hypocritical fans are.

This is a really good point.
