Junior Dos Santos' big wins

[cmw43]

Cain Velasquez
Fabricio Werdum
Stipe Miocic
Cro Cop
Shane Carwin
Mark Hunt
Gabriel Gonzaga
Frank Mir
Gilbert Yvel (not a great win but JDS stood with him like a man and put him down like a sack of shit)
But based on his wins he is one of the best heavyweights ever.

I don't think there's been a better run in the UFC HW division than this his run starting with Werdum and ending with starching Cain for the title.

 

[Ace70 V2]

The beating he put on Carwin and Nelson were fucking brutal and beautiful.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

JDS is an all-time great but people are so invested in Fedor's (undeniable) greatness that Cain annihilating prime JDS twice means that we have to dismiss him.

Healthy Cain is the best ever HW, btw.

Ngannou, Bones, prime Fedor and prime Stipe all beat prime Cain

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Cain just ruined him in that 2nd fight..

Bad..

 

[VonSupervillain]

From 2008 to 2012, JDS had the most impressive HW win streak in history. Yes, in history.

JDS biggest win is surviving being married to this.

He doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

Ngannou, Bones, prime Fedor and prime Stipe all beat prime Cain

Bones has one fight at HW and matches up badly against prime Cain. That's a rough fight for both.

Ngannou can knock anybody out but prime Cain roughing him up and tiring him out seems like the likely outcome to me.

Stipe is a bum compared to Cain. Compare how they did against JDS before he was washed.

Only real wild card is prime Fedor.

 

[Brutus.......]

Heavyweight was an absolute shark tank in that era. Far superior to now.

JDS’s run through that field was epic.

Only Bones.

Peime Stipe lost to a guy who had been pisspounded twice by Cain.


Y'all musta forgot

Cain was able to penetrate on the initial duck-under attemt against Francis. Pre back/knee surgery Cain beats him like he did Rothwell

He simply couldnt wrestle anymorr.

Did you forget that Cain got fucked up by a guy Stipe slept in the 1st? See, I can do that too.

Fedor puts his lights out. One shot, one kill. Adios!

 

[IloveTHIS]

JDS had one of the best peaks/win streaks in MMA history. He deserves to be ranked higher than Cain on any ATG list

forget Fedor, Cain isnt even better than DC at HW

and dont give me that bullshit about DC saying Cain beats him in training. They are like bestfriends, no shit hes not gonna say he would have destroyed his bud in a fight

jds > nganou

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

JDS biggest win is surviving being married to this.

The abandonment of his wife correlates well with JDS' decline as a fighter.

Made a similar thread and yes jds resume is seriously impressive. Goat tier. But he had bad losses vs cain and overeem which makes me question his real standing in terms of ATg rankings. Was he in his prime for cain 2 fight? I don't know but the string of wins he put up is unseen.

 

[milos_krasic]

JDS has one of the best runs to the title ever and even after the Cain beatings he managed to get several top 10 wins and some in dominant fashion. I personally have him ranked higher than Cain if looking at an overall career point of view (Cain likely would have had a better one if he didn't get injured so much) and probably still have him in my top 5 HW of all time or at the least in the top 7-8

Cain is overrated imo. He struggled vs kongo and a few others. He has nothing for werdum who imo is the bets heavyweight. Stipe beat werdum when doom was 39 or 40 and fought like an idiot.

Ngannou would smash him even at his best imo. Even DC who himself is a Greta fighter would beat Cain. Better chin, equally good wrestling etc.

 

[Xanzito]

Biggest win was upgrading his wife

Disagree, chubby wife JDS was Goat material. Hot wife JDS didn't have the best run in the division.

Ngannou, Bones, prime Fedor and prime Stipe all beat prime Cain

And DC and werdum. Not sure about bones. Astreix next to him with the roid rubbish.
Prime fedor is too small imo. But yes the others flatten overrated cain.
