No you are just flat out wrong and that is why you won't offer an example despite you saying it happens all the time.You seen kinda entrenched in defending your stance on this, but you really ain't living in the real world, you don't need to like it but it's been going on for ever, and will continue long after you and I are gone, so basically like it or lump it.
Contracts have always only been worth the paper they are written on if one party has enough leverage, you are acting like i'm saying this is how I want it to be, i'm not i'm merely pointing out that it is how it is.
It's very simple if they don't offer him enough to fight TJ, he won't fight TJ, that could of course backfire if the UFC were to strip him of his belt, but that's the gamble he's taking.
You have made the same mistake a few other naive people have and are clinging to it rather than admitting it. It is not common at all for a Champ with a contract to refuse a fight against an opponent making weight in his division in normal course. It is typically under circumstances such as short notice or asking the Champ to move outside his division that such exceptions are made.
