With his stunning one-punch knockout victory over Chuck Liddell at this past Saturday's "UFC 88: Breakthrough" event, Rashad Evans has claimed top contender's status in the UFC and has been granted a title shot with current 205-pound champ Forrest Griffin.

UFC President Dana White confirmed in the post-event press conference that Evans will get the immediate title shot -- one that was all but promised to Liddell.

White wouldn't release a date for the upcoming championship tilt, but he made it very clear Evans had earned his shot.

"(UFC CEO) Lorenzo (Fertitta), (UFC matchmaker) Joe (Silva) and I got together and thought yeah, he deserves the title shot," White said. "How could you say, 'No, he doesn't deserve the shot' after [the Liddell fight]?"

White said he had a date in mind but wouldn't share it until the organization has the opportunity to announce some other upcoming cards.

However, the organization's year-end Dec. 27 card in Las Vegas would seem a logical choice.

After a cautious but effective first round, Evans finally connected with the big blow mid-way through the second. In the latest coup for Team Jackson's army of upset artists, Evans used a Liddell-like overhand right to stop his opponent cold. Liddell hit the mat instantly, and he lay motionless on the canvas for more than a minute before he finally awoke and quickly jumped to his feet.
After a knockout like that, it really isn't surprising in the slightest.

If Evans fights like he did against Chuck then it will but I have never seen him fight like that before.

Sort of, I think TuF Winner Vs TuF Winner for the title is a bit more important then just Forrest winning it
