^ He'll get his shot. I just think it was a lose-lose situation having one of your most marketable fighter in Rampage, fighting for a title against your homegrown undefeated newly crowned light heavyweight King, Rashad.
One of these guys was going to lose, and it would be a tough blow for either. If Rampage lost, people would question whether he was still the same fighter, and if Rashad lost, its homegrown champion loses in his first title defense.
I think its beneficial for Rashad to at least get a few tries to defend first, and at least have somewhat of a stay as the King. Plus, another Rampage victory would get him back up to that status where people will feel like he earned another title shot, rather than getting one on the strength of his name and reputation.
