I'll preface this post by saying that I'm a big JDS fan. Unfortunately, he's been getting so beat up lately that he channeled his inner Dominick Cruz in his win against Ben Rothwell. It was a good win for him, one in which he sustained little damage. But I really don't want to see that from him again. Running around on the outside, avoiding just about every chance to engage and flicking his nice jab repeatedly, doesn't do anything for me as an MMA fan.
That being said, I'm not suggesting he just wade in in his next fight and war it up with another HW monster. Maybe some smarter in and out fighting than what he has displayed in that past few years. Sherdoggers are correct that his defense just isn't that great and he is entirely too hittable. I just can't take five more rounds of that "technical" virtuosity, especially among heavyweights. Actually, I hate it in all weight classes.
