I dont think he was running from Reyes. I just think that he is no longer motivated to keep defending the title against the unhearalded prospects. There's nothing left for him to do at LHW. He should have lost to Reyes,but I just think he doesnt really care about this div anymore,andit was a smart move to give the title away. If Reyes is as good as people think he is,than he will be there waiting if Jones would win the title from Izzy. GSP and Jones held on to their titles for so long,they got tired of defending it. The point was made. The legacy cemented. So giving up the title leaves them free to pursue other big fights that werent there before,and gives the company less to control them with.
