Verdum ducking Overeem,JDS, Lewis or Ngannou makes since he doesn't want to get lit up or risk it. Now Ducking Struve I bet his camp thinks that is also a lose lose situation. Anyone besides Cain, JDS, or Overeem is a lose/lose situation if he beats those other guys his stock doesn't go up much if he loses he probably never gets another shot at the title. Sad to see him duck Overeem. But Overeem took the Hunt fight which is a lose/lose for him in some facets I don't think a win throws him back in the title picture, but Overeem believes he is the best... as all fighters of Championship caliber should feel.
He's won one fight since Stipe. I can understand not wanting to take chances if you have a win streak going but he doesn't have anything. He's basically willing to sit out and hope the UFC gives him the title shot. I'd rather let JDS have it and give Stipe a chance to avenge that loss.
