How do you knock out a grizzly bear anyways? Lol
Man there's just something about Ben's confidence that I'm afraid to bet against. He literally said he'll lay on his back on purpose and invite Werdum into his guard. Wtf does he seems to know something we don't?
But def the value is there. I think if JDS were to win, he could win by decision because Big Ben can absorb damage like it's no one's business. Rule out the submission for JDS, and that leaves the decision.
But as it stands, JDS has always had issues with people pressuring him and he spends a lot of his time with his back against the wall. He needs better footwork and he needs to diversify his skillset. Where are the leg kicks? Not the telegraphed spinning shit he keeps trying either. His BJJ black belt is pretty much useless in his fights he only has one for defensive purposes and maybe to exploit a couple TDs on the more unsuspecting HWs.
Overeem beat him with such simple tactics that he couldn't figure out the distance, so maybe JDS isn't as talented as we thought he was. So JDS has been beaten by pressure fighters, and guys who moved well. Man he's got a lot of OUTS.
I'm interested how this fight plays out if/when they clinch up. If JDS can handle himself there he may have a shot at the rest of his game flowing. Ben's gonna be in his face.
I dunno where to go with this fight but I think I may end up betting Rothwell, but I'll play that decision line too from JDS.
