haha are you serious!? Why in gods name would they do that. He would be un-deserving, and get smashed (if Dan were to win in impressive form). Rich doesn't have a multi-million dollar contract by any means, so him being another 185 lb. fighter in the pack is not a bad thing. They'll throw him against some top 5-10 fighters from UFC and see how he does. After his last loss, it would be very un-wise to put him against a champ again, and they would never do it. Though they ARE running out of 185 lb. fighters who are able to fight for the title. It'll be interesting to see who they would give a title shot too next no matter WHO is the winner. No1 really stands out right now in that division as worthy fight fighting for the title who hasn't already...

Would be a GREAT fight for sure. Franklin via UD.


Franklin
Marquardt
Kampmann

... Are three guys which need to all fight eachother. Preferably Rich vs Nate, with the winner fighting Kampmann.
