UFC 217: Comeuppance

When you spend most of your lead up making it sound as though you legitimately don't think your opponent has a shot....do you deserve an immediate rematch? Especially after you got emphatically and decisively stopped in violent fashion? If Dominic Cruz didn't get a rematch from Garbrandt, does Garbrandt deserve one from Dillashaw after a stoppage loss? If Rose had lost in the first round how many fights would she need to get a rematch with Joanna? Joanna lost. She lost plainly and clearly. No immediate rematch. Garbrandt despite an insanely out of touch post fight conference Q&A lost by decisive stoppage. Headkick to punches and punches. Same goes for Bisping. I've seen some guys not get a rematch after losing a close decision...I'm simply not able to support rematches for a champ who lost in clear cut, unarguable, emphatic fashion.
