Exactly he talks shit which gains interest. On his podcast he has said numerous times that he talks shit to rile up fans. Doesnt mean he is ducking anyone. Why fight injured when he can wait?
For starters that's the same excuse he used after ducking your boy Whittaker. I can see how after 27 fights you may run out of material or forgot which excuse you used last but it's like he's not even trying at this point.
Secondly it was what, a week ago he was still ready for Georges?
"So yeah, to clarify, as of right now, no official word from the UFC. I haven’t heard anything, and Georges is still hoping for it, I’m still hoping for it. I’ll say this, I was offered the fight twice. I was offered the fight in October and it never materialized.
I was offered the fight in January or February and it did materialize and we had a press conference and we shook hands and we stood there in Las Vegas and we talked a bit of s--t. So OK, I haven’t had a bout agreement but that is the plan. That was the offer and I accepted, and I kind of feel that once a deal is made, we should stick to it.”

‘If he wants to wait until September or October, then he can go find himself another opponent. Because I call the shots.
‘Without sounding like an asshole, it is my belt.

Seems pretty clear to my non biased eyes that Mike wasn't just ready he was eager to get in to fight, earlier the better.
You honestly see nothing wrong with the above turning into this days later?
“It’s a blessing in disguise because I can’t fight anytime soon. I can’t exercise, I can’t train. My knee is giving me many, many problems. It was doing it in Thailand, it’s still getting no better. . . So long story short, what I’m getting at is I’m not going to be ready to fight anytime soon so again, that’s another reason why this plays into the perfect scenario for me....
"until I hear anything differently from an official source, I’m expecting to fight GSP.”
