Yeah so every win for JDS is a fluke now. I guess winning by decision is now better than winning by KO on Sherdog. Except everyone rags on Fitch and GSP who dominate entire fights. This place is fucked up.
Why would they be disregarded? I just think it was a fluke win and Werdum has always shown to be alot better than that. The rematch would be nothing like the first fight at all.
And if you think it's more impressive to land essentially a 1 punch KO a minute into the fight than completely dominating a fight for 25 minutes then we just disagree on that issue. A quick KO leaves questions, when you beat the crap out of somebody for 25 minutes you have proven to be the superior fighter.
Losing to Cain does not mean JDS win over Werdum was a fluke.
JDS has very good takedown defense, when he's not facing an All-American wrestler while gassed after being beaten bloody with a jaw damaged so badly they thought it was broken.
Werdum lacks the striking to put that kind of hurting on Junior to set him up for takedowns and lacks the wrestling chops in general to pull it off.
Styles make fights - JDS is a significantly better striker than Werdum and has good enough takedown defense to keep the fight standing when not under the conditions outlined above.
So while a KO inside of 2 minutes might be "a fluke" the net result wasn't.
Lol. Pretty much the dictionary definition of discarded.
I'm afraid it could look a lt like Werdum-Overeem.
Werdum is actually a quality fighter and that fight against JDS was very much a fluke win.
Losing to Cain does not mean JDS win over Werdum was a fluke.
