i agree that no fighter should think that he should never have to fight the person again after beating him, but the rematch should happen at a time that makes sense for both opponents, like if one has the title or if its for a title shot. not at a point where one is just barely hanging on in the company and the other is in the top 5 in the division(UFC's division, anyway). not only did macdonald beat doerksen, but doerksen is coming off of two losses and jmac beat the guy that just knocked doerksen out. this rematch doesn't make sense.
