If you were a promoter/matchmaker and there's a guy on your roster who's been through all this:
- Suspended six months by USADA for IV therapy after the weigh-ins against Bamgbose and Hendricks
- Comes back and gets rewarded with a title fight, but fails miserably against the champ he didn't take as a threat
- Disappears for a year, then misses the weight by 25 lbs in the return, forcing the opponent to accept a LHW bout. Loses the fight and says it's because of drinking wine the night prior
- Somehow gets another chance at MW against a washed-up Rockhold who's been away for 3 years (after getting KO'd in 3 out of the last 4 bouts). Goes the distance and looks kinda bad
- Still rewarded with a top name despite everything, but for the second time he ducks Robert Whittaker and openly comes with special demands instead. Later calls out Nick Diaz who's had one single fight in the last 8 years
What would be the fair thing to do in a scenario like this one?
