tua is daft for not taking that fight if that was the case. he's most definatly no spring chicken and cant afford to be rejecting fights like that that could set him up for a title shot (which is what he says he wants). he would gain much more by taking that fight than he would by having all these fights and treating em to get in contender shape. yeah he'll be rusty from the layoff but he still has the knowledge and these fights arnt sparring. he should train more if he's not in shape. simple as.
