JDS is happy cause he will probably get an easy KO for his first title defense :S
I really hope that frank worked on his TD so he could give some difficulties to JDS
lets see a picture of you funny clown
How do you prefer your men ajichiban?
Why camera is so close...?
Totaly a miss match, Mir will sleep early at May 26th
I just can't get excited for this match. I mean after the JDS vs Overeem superfight that we were gonna have.
Don't get me wrong, Mir is more deserving of the shot than most, and I was with his campaign when the pot was being stirred. But JDS and Overeem....... That would have been sweet!
JDS by second round arm bar!! NOOOOO pls dont try that!!
I like both fighters but I'm pretty sure Jds could knock out Mir with a shoulder punch.
Mir does not get KOed...he gets TKOed...that means his opponent needs to follow him to the ground to finish him....I can tell you this figth is not that easy for JDS....JDS does not have the gournd control that huge Carwin or Lesnar posses so JDS will be in danger of getting tangled with MIr on the ground....or he can just jab around to earn points and hurt Mir like he did with Carwin.
Actually JDS has good BJJ.
When JDS did end up on the ground with Carwin he ended up in a choke that only the bell saved him from. That said, I think he gets a clean KO over Mir by the middle of the second round. He will not follow Mir to the ground or get taken down by Mir. If he does somehow end up on the ground with Mir I think he will tap soon after but I don't see this fight going there.
He is Brazilian.
JDS gets to defend his title & avenge his mentors broken limb.
Seems like you mentioned this, time and again over the past few weeks. Looks like you'll have your revenge as well!
This fight will come down to two things, JDS rocking Mir and Mir hitting the canvas.
