Ryan Hall bores me to tears. I wouldn't get mad if he declined to fight Max Holloway or Frankie Edgar, though. I'd be excited that they're not being wasted on such a boring fighter/matchup. So obviously there is something about Mighty Mouse himself that intrigues you.
He ain't sacred homie.
All this is for $ make no mistake about it, hell TJ at 125 has even lower chances to get that win he most likely prefers it at this weight.
That's his chance to legitimise the division. If MM believes he'd beat TJ then not taking the fight is a really really seriously dumb move.
if TJ is willing to drop to 125, I dont think MM should really have a choice
