Maybe im remembering wrong, but wasnt Rampage getting his title shot against Rashad when he had the title, but got injured and replaced with Machida?

True but by that point he had already beaten Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine (back when Jardine was still legit). So he had fight two matches before he was even offered a title shot when the match that he lost was a really close decision. Not to mention that at that time Rampage was a former champion which should mean better consideration for a re-match.

This is all just talk it's not as if Sonnen getting a rematch is a tragedy or something. No one currently deserves the shot more it's just I would have rathered Belfort/Sonnen.
