most will probably disagree... but i think JDS should be considered as legendary... his run to his title shot was glorious... he is the only person to finish werdum, KO hunt (besides that flash KO by manhoef and recent death knee by werdum), and also KO cain.... those are the last three guys to fight for a UFC hw belt and JDS has been the only HW to destroy them all..
plus carwin burned thru guys and made it to brock, destroyed brock in round 1, and then gassed in the second, so carwin had much to prove against JDS... JDS tore his face off in that first round... compare that to other first rounds with carwin... i knw carwin came into this fight a lil lighter than usual.. but still...
he destroyed mir after mir was the first to submit big nog...
most knockdowns in ufc hw history...
plus his two asswhoopin's from cain showed "legendary" heart...
just sayin...
