Which Champion is "ducking" the most IF at all?

Merab calling for Petr Yan after Umar should be next

Jon Jones trying to skip over Interm Champ Tom Aspinall

Alex Pereira not accepting Magomed Ankalaev Fight

Or someone else?

jones aspinall is the fight the ufc wants + aspinall has interim
umar vs merab, the ufc want that one as well. But at least merab isn't totally wrong saying fuck umar for just fighting 1 top 10 guy and getting a TS immediately. He has an argument there at least.
pereira vs ankalaev. Still firmly believe the ufc hates ankalaev after acting a diva during the jan draw/decision + the times and circumstances of when ankalaev couldve stepped in but didn't. pereira the one guy on this list who hasn't said he wouldn't fight his contender. Calling him a duck because he hasn't fought a guy who fumbled his first TS, then beat THE CHINLESS WONDER JONNY WALKER and was expecting another TS right after isn't duck behavior.
 
Looks like people at children's karate-dog forum know thing or two about bravery.
 
The issue here is Aspinall has a belt, not only has it, he already defended it...none of the others have claims to become Undisputed champions unless they beat the champion, Aspinall can and most likely he will get promoted without fighting Jones.

Chances are he gets announced as Undisputed the next time he enters the cage.
 
I don't think so..

Umar and Ank have been going guns blazing with the trash talk lately lol


Ank was offered the fight and said no at UFC 300.
Merab wants to fight Umar in march and umar says no.


So who is ducking? not the champs. The Contenders not making the very reasonable dates are the ones ducking you cannot call the champions ducks because contenders wont conform to the champs schedule

To be fair to Umar everyone knows they do NOT fight one month a year for religious reasons and Merab continently said he'll only return on that exact date against Figgy (now it turned to Petr Yan who one sidedly beat already) when he can just as easily come back Feb or April if he really wanted to defend the belt.

Jones is the biggest dodge IMO, but Merab with everything he's saying/doing is right behind him given the situation.

I agree with Alex, lol.
 
I'd say Jon for not wanting to fight the interim champ of the title he just won. If that fight doesn't happen then the interim belt is worthless. And if I'm the UFC I'm never putting Pereira in there against a wet blanket wrestler I won't even give him the option lol. That man is fight anyone anytime and I'm not wasting that on a potential boring ass fight.
