JDM champ with worst credentials

[MRudi]

I am not going to judge JDM basing on his skill, but purely on his resume.
JDM won a belt against Belal - 0 title defenses champ, who himself won after decision. While JDM was clear winner, fight still was competitive and close.
Before this fight he had one ranked win against aged Burns, where he was losing the fight before the KO, which was one of the best comeback that year.
Before he fought with solid, but average Holland, who took him to split decision, the fight, that arguable he lost.
Before he fought with Hafez, another split victory, this time over journeyman.
And beside it he got 4 KO in undercards.

I mean - have ever been a champ with worse resume? For me JDM doesn't even deserve the titleshot with this resume in division full of Shavkat, Brady or Bonfim, and yet he is the champ.
JDM is very skilled boxer with great TDD and he is overall great talent, but his resume...

In the history of the UFC there are champions with worse résumés

Meanwhile
Shav has already beaten Magny, Neal, Thompson, Garry, Oliveira

Belt is just being kept warm for the steppe horde ><

Bro, Islam beat Charles for the belt and Charles only had 1 title defense.

Before that Islam beat Dober, Moises, and Hooker, before fighting Green to earn his title shot.

JDM beating Burns, Holland and Brown on his run to the title is better than Islam's run. He was having close fights because they were better opposition than what Islam was facing. Like, Green is a fucking can, bro.

How the fuck do you think Bonfim to be more deserving than JDM when his best win is the ghost of Wonderboi or Ange Loosa or Khaos Williams? JDM also has no losses in the UFC. Bonfim got put away by Dalby of all people within 2 rounds.

Champs with worse resumes would be Pena, Montano, or Cyborg.

Dave Menne had the vision of a goldfish.

Then he got his face punched in by Phil Baroni, which would be a highlight reel used for years. Phil Baroni would later kill a woman and go to prison. Lesson? Don't pick on disabled people.

Nico Montano?

Conor?

Let me sum it for ya Sherbro…

Whatever “hype” is around a marginal talent like JDM is purely due to the hate of Belal “what’s his name”…

People were just so overjoyed that he beat Belal that JDM has become a hero of sorts…

They will jump off the wagon when JDM gets handily beaten soon.

Tom Aspinall comes to mind…

Finishing Burns with a broken arm is pretty impressive, underrated performance, which made the odds for him vs Belal very good.

 

[Karate Kid]

JDM's resume was never hyped at all.

what his hype stands on is that fight after fight his improvements are leaps and bounds above the previous.

to me he is the most rapidly improving fighter in the entire federation.

Conor?

Yea, by winning the title finishing one of the GOATS who was on a nine years and 18 wins spree.

Great comparison to Belial...

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Beating a champion with zero defenses is now a negative

 

[burningspear]

He has a gaping hole like dricus, its not enough these days.

 

[andgonsil]

JDM beat Burns

Burns beat Khamzat

Shavkat still fights? Looks like he went incognito after having to cuddle Ian Garry to barely win.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Conor?

For the FW belt he did beat Max(very green at the time), Poirier and Mendes. Then KO'd Aldo. Mendes was off the couch and it should have been Frankie but still a decent resume at FW.

 

[Ozze]

Yeah, is pretty weak. Not the worst, but weak.

JDM is the guy that most people would forget if asked to name the male champions of the UFC.
