I indeed think he should have gotten the instant rematch against forrest "paperchamp" griffin.

Biased judges had nothing to do with Rampage losing since he would have lost as long as the judges knew the rules. That said I agree that Rampage has a better claim to the title shot since he was the champ and has beaten a higher ranked opponent than Machida in their last respective fights.
I hope Machida will be second in line though and I would certainly not ask "who has he beat" in a general matter since he has fought tough opponents.
