Why are they doing this to my boy JDS?

[CBohl]

Fighting a complete beast in Cyril Gane.

Can we just give this man some easy fights???

At least he gets paid handsomely.


WAR Junior Dos Santos.

 

[GodKingCovington]

Getting paid handsomely and being older is why.

 

[Ace70 V2]

He can beat Gane. I know he's been fading for years, but he's still got some skill.

 

[CanadianKobold]

You answered your own question. He gets paid handsomely, thus he gets tough fights. They aren’t paying for him to crush nobodies on the regular.

 

[I Lie To Girls]

I'd never count out a striker of his pedigree.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

It’s a heavyweight fight, I’d never count out JDS...

Cyril Gane is bad fight for JDS. Very technical kickboxer that moves well and has good cardio. I fear he is also going to be released if he loses this fight. But that doesn't make sense. Like Yoel, JDS murks the majority of fighters in his division. there's like 6 or 7 guys in that division that can beat him.

 

[Syndrm]

Gane seems to be a bit different than who Junior gets crushed by. I know people say Gane is technical, but he moves around and wings single strikes as if he's afraid of counters or isn't technical enough to stand toe-to-toe.... it's working though, so why box with HW's

I don't think Gane will finish Junior early unless he gets more comfortable in pocket to pressure Junior off balance

And counters are key for Junior, he's still got the speed and hammers

 

[The Bard]

You don't keep around an old, expensive prizefighter to give him easy wins or build him up. That time has passed. As a business asset, he's there for entertaining fights, mostly against younger guys.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

Why do I feel like Arlovski would have a better chance of winning this than JDS?

Has he said anything to suggest he wants easy fights?

I love JDS but he's become quite sloppy recently, very telegraphed movements, that straight to the body he always does is nice but theres no doubt he'll just start swanging at some point when he loses control and it'll become a shit show for him... I really hope he goes for a takedown.

 

[Slatersan]

With the current state of affairs i predict jds gets ko’d then gets cut. Hopefully one of the other orgs fit him in.

 

[Patof]

I love JDS, one of my favorite fighters. Always breaks my heart to see him lose. Hope he does well here.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

He's getting paid pretty well to get fed to a young lion.

To be fair I don't think JDS has ever been very technical. He's always thrown hooks, overhands and uppercuts and never really jabs or straights. To me JDS has always been a slugger with really fast power hands. He's just really shopworn at this point and not as quick as he once was.

Fair, I thought he looked quite technical with his boxing and footwork in his Lewis fight, and in his more recent wave(post Cain) at least seems to have adopted more of a pick your shots style until he gets smothered. I think when he's trying to/ or knows he is control(ing) the fight he throws a lot of straight shots, jabs and such, but when he's in danger it all goes out the window.

This kinda shit

Rather than flustered this kind of shit.

 

[Smooth Princess]

He gets like 400k to show, you're pretty much required to fight beasts for a check like that otherwise you aren't worth what it costs to keep you on the roster.

He definitely improved throughout his career.

But during his streak he was ripping prime with punches. Big torque. I'm a fan. I was rooting for him when he knocked out Cain.
