im not hating im just saying he needs to be tested and theres no competition in 145, the best 145 by far is kid and the wec needs to bring him to smash urijah.

Why would he go up to 155. I don't think he even walks around at that weight. He would be terribly outsized. Makes you wonder why a few of the 155ers before Jens haven't dropped down to try and take his title if he is sooo overrated.

Not overrated, but very unproven.

Laughable that he ever appears on any p4p best in the world lists.

There's a difference between saying someone is over-rated (or overrarted), and saying they have not been tested. Besides Griffin, he has beaten everyone that they have put in front of him. I would like to see him fight the top guys in the world, but don't think that it is a must for him to be considered a great fighter.

I think Yamamoto moved down from 145, so they aren't even in the same class anymore. That would be his best fight, though.
