Your point is fine. Nobody is disputing it - I just don't really give a shit about it.
Fighters are not matchmakers.
These dudes have the right to ask for or try to market any fight they want. Ultimately the UFC will decide if that fight is worth it, or the UFC will make the fight that IT wants to.
Woodley, Alvarez, Cruz, Bisping, etc etc etc can come out and say whatever they want. Most of these dudes have given their lives to the sport and have spent the majority of their careers getting paid shit. If they make it to the top of heap where you only last a year or two unless you're a freak of nature (like GSP, Jones, Silva etc etc) and they want to be vocal about who they fight next I say more power to them, and the fans should get the fuck over it.
