Examples of fighters avoiding Title fights with teammates.

[RiotWyatt]

Faber turned down a shot against Dillashaw.

After winning the PRIDE LHW Grand Prix, Shogun didn't challenge Wanderlei for the title. Arona, the runner-up, did.

Renan Barao continued making the strenuous weight-cut to 135 lbs and only made the move to 145 lbs after Aldo lost his title.

Cormier opted to cut down to LHW rather than stay at HW and fight Cain.

Rory MacDonald said he'd never fight GSP.

I will never get that. It's kinda stupid. I would backstab the shit out of anyone who stood in my way for a title shot.

You're a fighter. Fucking fight.

Bruh...it fucking sucks going up against your team mate in a grappling tournament. I could only imagine it being worse having to go against them in an MMA fight. You don't fight your family.
