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'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.

carwin vs. velasquez

jds vs. ben rothwell

crocop vs. gonzaga 2

big nog vs. werdum

struve vs. kongo (fuck mir)

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.
