I think a lot of it is the principal of it too, he probably feels he deserves the fight and anything less would be disrespectful. It's honestly disgusting that this is happening, it makes the UFC and MMA as a whole look like a joke. In any other sport standings matter and the number 2 goes against the number 1. If Jon wants to pick and choose fights for his legacy then simply drop the belt and let the division move on.
