What the fuck does that mean? Champions are supposed to refrain from fighting? Now that he's not champion he can fight again?
I know Michael said as a champion they have to be strategic with which fights they take, and I can understand that to an extent, but as champion, he would have made more money fighting Romero than he will as non-champion fighting Kelvin Gastelum, so what was the benefit of not fighting while holding the belt?
This looks to me to be admission that he literally ducked all top MW contenders for 17 months, but for what reason, I don't understand.
