Duane "Bang" Ludwig talks to SHOOTMedia just hours before UFC 177 about the last minute substitution with Joe Soto. Bang also talks about Castillo v Ferguson and what he expects to see.
Neither did tj . Look how that turned out 
Snake D -Song2 - Neither did tj . Look how that turned out
Uhh how did he not deserve a shot?
Well he had never beaten a top ten fighter in his career and I'm fairly sure he wasn't even in the top ten when he fought for the title, so I don't think that comment is too far of the mark.

You beat the champ you deserve the belt. His suggestion that it would be a non title fight is ridiculous.
Ludwig in stating the obvious shocker.
Whambo - You beat the champ you deserve the belt. His suggestion that it would be a non title fight is ridiculous.
Ludwig said that it was merely a suggestion he made; his opinion. It effectively fell on deaf ears.
Thanks captain obvious. 
Didn't watch but what would 'Bang' suggest...cancel the whole event, Jon Jones style?
TJ ain't no diva!
ajsr -He beat Mike Easton who was top 10 and he was ranked top 10 at the time.Snake D -Song2 - Neither did tj . Look how that turned out

I love Bang
He said TJ is almost on his level striking.
Almost on the Ninja Level
Bang = Ninja
I think if they don't have a title fight people can get a refund. It has nothing to o with deserving a shot.
Snake D -Because he was on a 1 fight win streak.Song2 - Neither did tj . Look how that turned out

TFK_SickEye - Didn't watch but what would 'Bang' suggest...cancel the whole event, Jon Jones style?He suggested that Barao still fight TJ in a nontitle fight, even though he passed out and likely got a fucking head injury. Pretty idiotic shit. Bang has never struck me as particularly intelligent.
TJ ain't no diva!

You're right I think Easton was 8/9 and that pushed Dillashaw back into the top ten. Dillashaw was 9 going into the Raphael Assunção fight and I'm pretty sure he dropped out of the top ten after that loss.
As it turned out he was more than ready for it. The Assunção rematch is the fight I wanna see.

Challenge....
ajsr -Add that to the list.of.people.who.didn't deserve a title shot and still won. Bones and Weidman also didn't deserve shots based on their accomplishments. Didn't matter in the end, but it's crazy how much.history hinges on timing and others getting injured.YHTOMIT2001 -ajsr -He beat Mike Easton who was top 10 and he was ranked top 10 at the time.Snake D -Song2 - Neither did tj .
