To me an immediate rematch would be a waste of a fight that could be built up to be even bigger than the second, in terms of PPV buys and emotional investment from the fans.

We all want to see these guys go at it again, but I think JDS could benefit from one or maybe two more fights before the rematch happens (assuming he wins them). Two more fights for each guy could see them rematch in about a years time, and this is ample time for JDS to work on his wrestling, improve his conditioning no end, add some more awesome highlights to his reel, build his name in the sport with casual fans, and build the fight into something monumental.
