..what has he done in the past 3 years to warrant a title shot? I guess Light Heavyweight division has thinned out some with Randy moving to Heavyweight, Hendo moving to Middleweight, Vandy eyeing Middleweight, and Chuck's forced early retirement, but I would have liked to see Machida beat one of the other contenders like Rampage or Forrest or even Jardine before he got a title shot. When trying to size Machida up to figure out how he's going to do in this fight, I've got nothing to go on. Why not even give him a rematch with Rich Franklin? I'd rather have a Machida vs Franklin fight, Forrest vs Vandy, and Rampage versus Evans. Oh, and GSP vs Anderson Silva. Muahahahaha.
