It really does depend on how good they look. If Shogun looks like he did in the Chuck fight or Machida 1, then I'd want him to get the shot. If he looks more like he did in Forrest 2, then I'd rather it goes to Machida.
If I was Shogun the last thing I would want is Jones using my head as a punching bag until I was forced to quit on my feet again. Considering the damage Shogun took to the head in his fights against Jones and Hendo alone, I would seriously worry about brain damage if he keeps fighting those kind of fights.
none of those rematches are worth watching besides machida, so stupid
yeah, agree. I just don't buy the idea that Dana will give Machida a re-match with Jones this quickly unless he has a spectacular knockout vs. Bader and Shogun looks meh.
Given that we have no sub-champions in the 205 division, I am OK with either Rua or Machida getting a rematch. They are both excellent fighters and it would be interesting to see if they can adapt and learn from the first match. It's not like letting these guys get another shot is preventing a more deserving fighter from getting the fight. Bader is borderline. I don't see him beating Machida but even if he does, his only chance against Jones is the Matt Hamill path to victory.
Seeing that little burst of rage at the 149 presser almost makes me want that to happen. 2 events in a row and Dana might not be able to stop himself once he starts.
