Right now, all that we know about his ground game is that he's got good trainers, but is that enough to make him a top ten?
I really don't understand what he's doing so high.

90% of the UFC HW division is overrated.

He's over-hyped and over-rated.
The real travesty though is how high Rogers is ranked.

I know. Imagine if Machida didn't spend five rounds running away. Would've been over a hell of a lot sooner.

well Cro Cop fought him with like, 15% motivation, and still managed to get some shots in ( mirko threw maybe 3 or 4 shots in entire match and they all landed ) so i wouldnt call JDS an elite striker or anything...

Just wait till he ko's gonzaga. Gonzaga is overrated. JDS is insane, at the moment you say hes overrated, but just because he has shown some crazy skills. After 1 or 2 more wins everythings gonna be ok.

So far he has stepped up to the plate and hit home runs, so I wouldn't consider him overrated really.
