I like when he told Dan he wanted to stand and bang..
Rampage deserves a shot at the title more than Machida, since he beat Machida. However, I don't know if Rampage at this stage can beat Jon Jones. Seems Rashad Evans is getting left out in the cold when it comes to a title shot.

And yeah Johnson did anything BUT stand and bang with Dan Hardy. That was a boring ass fight.
Rashad's getting screwed, hard! How the fuck can a champion pull out of a fight with the number one contender for surgery, then scrap the surgery and fight someone else? It's total bullshit! Rashad is the closest thing to a real contender that division has right now. Jones is ducking him like a scared little bitch. Short of an 8-man tournament, Rashad should be next.

Boring or not, Rumble's fighting smart. He'd be stupid to trade with Hardy or Marquardt when he has a clear wrestling advantage. Boring winners always get paid while exciting losers get cut, see Jon Fitch and Keith Jardine as examples.
To be fair he had his shot and he got injured twice wasn't it? And before that when Rua was injured he refused a fight and said he would just wait which isnt really the fighter mentality you should have.
But still i do agree he should have that shot it was strange with Jones pulling out with an ongoing injury that he didn't need surgery for.
