It feels like for this particular matchup, ZUFFA could really help build up another rising star and future contender/title challenger by more or less feeding Rampage to them, assuming that Rampage shows up as disinterested and uninvested as he presently seems to be about the UFC and MMA in general.
Now, while Rampage has lost a good chunk of his drawing cache over some of his less than stellar performances and overall antics, he's still a rather big name to get a win over. I think Phil Davis, Goose or even Mousasi(since the SF LHW division is him, Kyle & Feijao) would be clever ways to not only have Rampage kick rocks, but possibly give a fresher name a highlight reel win.
