No. Not yet at least.

Rogerio is a serious contender IMO. If Shogun wins the title and Rogerio can win this next fight, it sets up the perfect rematch.

Not going to happen. The winner of Rashad Rampage gets the winner of Machida Shogun. I think little nog should get the winner of that fight.

 

[Super Mario]

With Forrest going down, they may say the winner of Page/Shad has to go through Lil Nog first to get the title shot.

At least that's how I'd like to see it happen if Rogerio isn't going to get the winner of Machida/Shogun.

Uh, no. Rampage has only lost one questionable fight in the UFC. If he beats Rashad he should definitely get the next shot.
