Everyone knows by now that Frankie didn't accept the Conor fight because he was injured and that Dana tried to spin it like Edgar was scared to accept the fight.
Dana has done this to other fighters in the past including Wanderlei (with Sonnen), Overeem (with JDS) and Nate Diaz.
As much as people try to blame Wanderlei's falling out with the UFC on him running from a test...Wanderlei was already pissed at the UFC for publicly suggesting that he was afraid to fight Sonnen. They questioning his courage publicly so that he would cave in or risk being called coward by fans. They did this to pressure him into fighting before he was recovered from his injury and to try to get him to drop his PPV points that he request.
Yes...running from a test was all on Wanderlei and he is to blame for that. People wrongly think that is why Wanderlei feuded with the UFC though. It was because they did a similar thing to him like they did to Frankie when Wanderlei was always a company man.
