Greatest ducking and dodging in MMA history?

Barnett avoiding Fedor like he owes Fedor money.....

Plz lock thread now
 
Tito ducking Chuck has to be the worst. Bisping and Woodley both i feel will fight the number 1 contender after their next fight. Tito tried to get by without fighting Chuck ever.

[/QUOTE] Dude, Barnett wanted that fight HARD. The timing never worked out on either end. Rather unfortunate but that's how it was.[/QUOTE]
Timing never worked out??!!! As in, Barnett got popped for PED's, again, causing the cancellation of the AFFLICATION event that sank the entire company?
 
GSP x2. GSP ducked AS in his glory yrs claiming AS was too big even though AS started at a lighter weight than GSP. But turns around and wants to fight Bisping who started as a LHW. And then he ducked Lawler saying he didn't want the belt but is willing to fight Woodley for it.

HM- Cyborg is most ducked. RR hid behind the title and both Tate/Holm said they'd fight Cyborg at a catchweight but quickly back pedaled soon after winning the belt.

Bs Tito fought chuck twice. He wasn't scared he just wanted to get paid what he was worth, especially considering he and shammy saved the UFC from going under.

You must have missed that era. Tito ducked Chuck for years while Chuck fought a murderers row of contenders. Just do yourself a favor and look at their records/opponents at the time and it's undeniable that Chuck was facing the elite while Tito's toughest opponent was contact negotiation. Tito was doing the same thing as Tyrun and Tito was more than happy to beat up a legend (Shamrock) that's prime and era had clearly passed him by, just like Tyrun is trying to do by avoiding the clear #1 contender while demanding fights against a guy who is winless in 5 years and coming off a two year suspension and, you guessed it, an aging legend who's prime and era have clearly passed him by. (See Wonderboy (T)KOing the guy that sent GSP out of the Octagon and into a psychologists office.) BTW, Tito was even stripped of his title for not fighting the Iceman.
 
Jones ducking the whole LHW division when he refused to take a short notice fight and got a whole card scrapped.

I must have missed that era? Nice revisionist history. Chuck had a great streak against legit opponents agreed on that, but he wasn't a draw at the time. Tito and shammy were the only guys keeping the UFC afloat. If it wasn't for their fight at UFC 40 the UFC would have folded.

Tito did everything he could for the UFC to make it survive all those years and he wanted to get the payday he deserved to fight his training partner chuck so he held out until the money was right.
 
Tito ducking Chuck. Tito's legacy depended on him not fighting Liddell, Couture, and getting lucky with Rampage and roided Wand in Pride and Frank leaving the UFC.
 
Kenflo ducked Sherk the first time they offered him a crack at the LW title. He straight up said he wasn't ready.
 
Tito / Chuck
McG / Edgar
GSP / Anderson
