Who's next in line for the LHW belt?

I'd love to see Shogun beat Machida and then Page get a shot at Shogun's belt. That is a rematch I'd love to see in the UFC. If Page can stay out of the clinch and check a few kicks he can knock Shogun out. Shogun has a great clinch game, though, and Rampage eats knees.

I think Machida is a mismatch for Page too, but if Page can connect on Machida he can win. Machida isn't gonna knock Rampage out with one punch either so if he has to eat a few punches in order to land one I think he can.

Rampage has a solid chin. Chuck & Dan both landed some big shots on him. So did Wand and Shogun, but it wasn't just 1 big KO like Rampage has done to Chuck (2nd fight) & Wand.

Remember shogun saying he wanted to retire? He loses to an old guy (coleman) .. fights another old guy (sorry chuck) .. and than kicked Machida's legs to a loss ..

That's exactly the point I was making. Machida isn't gonna KO Rampage with one punch like he did against Thiago. If Rampage has to eat a punch of two in order to land one of his own I think he has the chin to pull it off.

I think if Rampage wins against Rashad then he should get the next shot. If Rashad wins he should fight the winner of Griffin vs. Nog and the winner of that should get the next shot. IMO Jones needs a few more fights before he can be considered just because he's so young and his name isn't going to carry a PPV yet with the casual fan.

I agree with Bigs on this.

Rampage has cost the UFC more than he can make them. Rampage allowed Strikeforce to go uncountered and Fedor to establish himself. This is personal.

Tito sells a lot of PPVs too. Never stopped what happened there.

Look at what Randy did with Affliction. Dana got over that pretty quick. What Page did was a bit worse, but Dana will put that to the side for $$$ any day Wolf.

I was agreeing with you.
