Isn't JDS a bit overrated?

[CrazyA]

Every new up and comer who shows great skill and a high ceiling for improvement are always a tad overrated. Everyone's looking for the next big thing. Could JDS be a serious contender and maybe one day champion? Sure. But as long as he keeps winning in impressive fashion, he's going to be up there. I would like to see JDS vs. Cain for a #1 contender match after the Carwin match.

he is but he does actually look like he going to bed as good as he is rated though

[Freak Show]

He's beat good fighters, and trains with good partners. I would say he's good, not great.

JDS took the fight to Cro Cop, if Mirko hadn't spent the best part of two rounds running away it would've been over a hell of alot sooner. And to be honest, out of that list, I would take only three being top contenders, JDS not included.

i know but like junior dos santos doesnt deserve a shot with cain , it should have been imo

carwin vs. velasquez

jds vs. ben rothwell

crocop vs. gonzaga 2

big nog vs. werdum

struve vs. kongo (fuck mir)

that'd be good

I think he's still untested against a wrestler and we haven't seen him off his back

but he's righty ranked,.,....he'd kill brett rogers

[stu3ufc]

if he knocks out gonzaga is he still over rated?

will you say he's good enough

or will you say gonzaga is a washed up nobody?

Realistically, who has he beaten besides Werdum and Cro Cop? Struve?

He's over-hyped and over-rated.

The real travesty though is how high Rogers is ranked.
