Do you think Sonnen deserves a title shot if he beats Belfort?

Vitor is the clear #1 contender once Machida has fought, so beating him would probably make Chael the #1 contender.

Losing to Rashad doesn't mean a whole lot, and he did submit Shogun.
 
Sonnen didn't deserve his title shot against Jones. For that matter, he didn't deserve his second shot against Silva, having failed his piss test after their first fight. But since the UFC has never been about "deserve" this is par for the course.

(I voted no, in case it isn't crystal clear)

Losing to Rashad is a more important mark on his resume than beating a clearly in decline Shogun.... so yes, it matters.
 
Yeah

Vitor earned a shot and title shots work like actual titles, if you beat the guy then you take his spot
