Never Bought JDS Nice Guy Crap

[kaltkalt]

I think he's a legitimately nice guy. I just find him a boring fighter. He's basically a boxer with really good take-down defense, and nothing more. If I wanted to see boxing, I'd watch boxing.

JDS vs. Cain II isn't interesting to me. I know what's gonna happen. It will look like the first fight, just last a bit longer. Cain will chase JDS, get punched, won't be able to take him down, and it will end with a TKO for JDS even though Cain isn't actually unconscious or truly unable to intelligently defend himself.

Sorry, I'm just not interested in seeing that. I like fights where I don't know what's gonna happen. Where it could go to the ground at any time, could end by KO or submission at any time. Any fight with JDS is a stand-up boxing match that will end in a TKO (never even a nice, pretty, clean KO).

The old argument about wrestler vs boxer apparently has an answer: train a good boxer in "anti-wrestling" i.e. good takedown defense, and the boxer wins every time.

BORING.

Even Roy Nelson is more interesting and diverse in his game (and since he has no brain, he's impossible to KO).

Overeem misses a drug test then jds has something to say about it. And jds is the bad guy.

Honest to god, I love this place.

Haha this

The smug and arrogant JDS is revealing his true self more and more lately. He puts on fake personality most of the time. The more he talks the more he reveals that he is truly not the "nice guy" image he tries to portray.

 

[hydrobadazz]

He is nice guy, your just being overly critical. Do u expect him to handout freshly baked cookies at the weigh-ins?

What the fuck do you find exciting?Mike Pierce?Jon Fitch?Jake Shields maybe?

here is a wrestler KO

He was spot on on both Mir & Reem. He's an honest guy who's child-like genuinety rubs some the wrong way - he speaks his mind and doesn't think of the aftermath (and doesn't care enough to think about it).

One of the nicest guys around, which is rare in the fight business - not c0cky, no ego, no chip on his shoulder. Him and Tanner are/were exceptions. Randy's a cool dude, but even he had his losses cloud his judgement.

 

[MrPapaya]

Why the HELL would JDS respect Overeem? Overeem got caught cheating. JDS has no reason to respect Reem when he screwed up a main event because he likes doing steroids.

 

[Roganbyarmbar]

I don't want this to sound like an attempt to troll but I honestly never could respect JDS for some reason. I always respected him as a fighter and an athlete but he always rubbed me the wrong way. Always putting his fist into people's faces at weigh ins, calling Frank Mir a person who gives up, even Mir is known for rebounding from a career ending injury, and disrespecting Alistair Overeem after the drug test issue. I honestly think he needs an ass whipping to set him straight.

JDS hasn't talked one tenth of the shit about Overeem that Overeem said about him.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

The fist? Who cares? Mir does tend to fold when he gets hit. And I dare one person to not be pissed off when someone like reem costs you thousands and thousands of dollars in ppv buys.

Thousands and thousands? More like millions.

 

[Amerikuracana]

I'm sure he is just a dude. I never really cared about whether a fighter was a "nice guy" outside the cage. Does not fkn matter, at all. If they are terrible/criminal people I may not support them, but that's it.

Bro , time to wake up, Overeem cheated, so why anybody needs to respect him?
When Ben Johnson tested positive they stripped him of everything and literally ended his career , Overeem telling lies all over, nothing makes sense in his stories, but still he got a way with such a short time out!

I dont get what you want in the weigh ins? i saw x 10 times worse.
Nothing is bad here.

He's a solid fighter and so is Cain going to be a good fight.

Volkmann!

And that army guy that won TUF whose name I still can't remember despite watching the whole season (God help me).

 

[Bicster]

As an impoverished youth, while his friends were selling drugs on the corner, JDS sold ice cream. FUCKING ICE CREAM. How could you ever dislike this teddy bear of a man?

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

You can't be a nice guy and a successful fighter at the same time. It don't work that way.

 

[purpleheart]

Are you trying to say Frank Mir never gives up?

 

[Amerikuracana]

You can't be a nice guy and a successful fighter at the same time. It don't work that way.

Pat Barry is pushing those limits. If he was not so nice to CC, he would be a bit higher in the rankings today.

 

[JasonMun]

What I don't get is how anyone can pretend they know whether a ufc fighter is nice based on what you see on tv.

TUF, like any reality show, is edited so the fighters seem to have whatever personalities the producers see fit, and interviews are hardly something you can determine personality from

Not everybody is gullible or can be fooled so easily?

So he made up the ice cream story?

 

[KazaamBR]

I am not really a JDS fan though, I think he is a bit annoying but he is legit.

I didnt like his comment about Mir not being a man, and then trying to make an excuse about why he said it. Just be upfront about it and call a spade a spade and his incessant banter about Overreem and his failed drug tests, and how he is not a real fighter because of his failed test is a bit much.

But all in all it is what it is.

This is why I like Jones, he will say shit and just fuck with it and keep it moving without trying to make an excuse about why he said some foul shit.

Seriously?
