DC is still a very interesting contender, but in no way can it possibly be better. I think it's more of a step sideways which is still far from what you usually get when an injury happens for a ME fight.

I was about to disagree, but after quickly double-checking around on fight forums I found out that you were actually right. I guess I wasn't aware of it, but it seems like most people wanted to see the rematch, though no one is disappointed at all with having DC instead.
So I guess the general consensus is that this is a step sideways as you say. Thats fine though, its an upgrade to me, so I'm happy.
