Has anyone ever got a title shot coming off a lose?

Georges St-Pierre was out of action for 19 months between his win over Jake Shields and his successful return against Carlos Condit last month at UFC 154, but he's looking to make a quick turnaround for his next bout.
According to UFC President Dana White, via MMAFighting.com, the UFC has offered GSP and Nick Diaz a bout against one another at UFC 158 in Montreal this March, though the fight has not been signed as of yet.
St-Pierre requested the Diaz fight after defeating Condit, as it was the fight he was initially supposed to have last October. Diaz had gotten under St-Pierre's skin with his trash talking, and the Welterweight Champ hasn't quite let it go. Diaz lost a decision to Condit in February for the Interim Welterweight Championship, and has been serving a suspension out of that bout due to a positive test for marijuana metabolites.
Johny Hendricks had hoped to get the next shot at St-Pierre, believing his knockout over Martin Kampmann moved him in line. However, given the close nature of the Diaz-Condit bout, St-Pierre's camp still wants to face off against him, leaving Hendricks on the outside looking in.

Wow. Hendricks has every right to be pissed. I guess losing a fight + testing positive for drugs > beating 3 top 5 guys in a row. 
Edit: And yeah, Troll Sonnen is getting the shot against Bones at 205 after getting his arse beat by Anderson at 185 in his last fight.

gonna be another nice decision from gsp taking diaz down every round and pretty much just punching until the round is over. Hendricks should have gotten this title shot and it would have been a much better fight.

I thought Dana promised that if GSP won his last fight he was going to have GSP and Spider Silva fight in the Cowboys stadium? Am I making that up or did I miss something?
