Because didnt Dana say Shogun would be next inline or some shit for the winner of chuck/rampage.

so maybe they are trying to show him to the world so he can sell.
Good theory, the winner of Liddell vs. Rampage definitely won't be fighting until August or September at the least, so Shogun will definitely be facing someone else in the meantime. Personally I doubt his next fight will be in the UFC, because Shogun is the clear #1 contender for the PRIDE 205 belt and deserves a shot at Henderson. There was already talk that PRIDE 35 might be in California, but I suspect it will be in Japan and Shogun will be headlining it vs. Hendo. PRIDE 35 may also be the LWGP opening round, so they would be looking for a few marquee non-tourney bouts.
