Renan Barao deserves an immediate rematch. Yay or Nay?

Why not. Anderson got one after getting outclassed in the 1st round and KTFO early in the 2nd
 
I honestly wouldn't care either way. Barao was down every round then finished in the fifth, it doesn't get more definitive than that really. However, not a lot of guys ride a 10 year 30+ fight win streak; even fewer guys have to stick with an interm title for so long.

Personally, I would prefer if he gathers himself against another challenger while TJ defends against Raphael.
 
Nay.

He needs another fight before TJ.
Instant rematches are killing divisions.
 
No, if it was a close fight like Machida/Shogun then yes. But he got dominated for five rounds. Give him a fight or two first.
 
No one deserves an immediate rematch. I'm for a mandatory 1 fight minimum for the challenger between rematches.
 
Nope

1. Wasn't a close fight at all

2. Barao wasn't a longtime champ
