However, the man who many people feel beat the great Rush at UFC 167 is reportedly getting a fight on the landmark UFC 200 card.
Former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks (17-4) and TUF 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum (11-2) are being targeted for a 170 lb fight for the July 9 card, according to MMA Fighting.
Hendricks enters into this bout off a first-round TKO loss to Stephen Thompson in March. That loss marked the first time Big Rigg had been finished in his career and his first loss in a non-title fight since 2010.
We last saw Gastelum inside the Octagon losing to rising welterweight Neil Magny via split decision in November.

Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne and Gegard Mousasi vs. Derek Brunson are also expected to be on the card.
