I'm not really against Shields getting a title shot with only one win in the UFC, like Pashak posted before it's a trend in the UFC, even A Silva got his shot with a win over Leben and is considered to be one of the best champions UFC has ever had.
Fitch is a lot better now since their first fight but nothing about his style shows me that he will change the outcome of a rematch with GSP, especially since GSP has also shown improvements in his game. Having a new title contender like Shields, should he beat the Hitman, with a more impressive streak than Fitch would definitely be a better suit for a WW title fight. But having said that, I agree with rh that if anyone other than Fitch or Shields get a title shot within the year would be great injustice.
