Who should get the title shot against JDS to replace Overeem?
Triple OG Rapsodie:
Yeah but there's plenty of new blood. I want to see Pettis challenge for the belt. I want to see what Diaz and Maynard can do against Bendo. And then after that there will be another line of contenders coming up. Melendez is gonna have his hands full with Thomson and the UFC doesn't currently need him. He can come over for a superfight when they actually need a title challenger.

Brock Lesnar had crazy athleticism and wrestling too. And good training partners.

1. Lesnar was 30 when he started MMA
2. Lesnar was a beast and a champion and didn't look to bad tell he had a 12-inch piece of his colon removed
3. Phil Davis actually takes this as a career, Lesnar had the WWE to fall back down and had enough money to just be lazy.
4. Phil Davis has steadily improved and he has a crazy submission game which lesnar never had.
All he needs is to get better striking and he will be an all around well rounded fighter ready to challenge. he is already a top 10 LHW. After Rashad & Hendo he is next in line for a title shot in my eyes. (of course that is a long ways off and a lot could happen)

It's more than just talking about a guy's potential and training hard. You don't know what his potential is nor if he'll ever reach it. You don't know if he'll ever be good at striking. There's far more wrestlers who never become great strikers than there are that do. You don't know if he'll master using his wrestling effectively in mma like Evans has. Everything you're talking about is in the maybe. For now, after being thoroughly dominated by Evans in every aspect of the game, he doesn't have what it takes. So looking at him as a contender in a year is pointless until he actually shows that potential in a fight. Til then he's not a credible opponent for Jones. Just because the guy is black and built doesn't mean he's going to automatically become an elite fighter.
rayallen0:
wtf are you talking about? have you watched him fight before Rashad Evans? he already fought 2 of the top 10 LHW and dominated them and made Brian Stann drop down to MW. He obviously is going to be something. Dude's striking has improved throughout. No he wasn't able to compete with Rashad. But he damn sure looked better than shad did during his early years (the hump the fighter for 15 minutes rashad).
Black and built? are you fucking kidding me? Then i would say a bum like Kongo could compete. but he can't until nut shots are legal.
He has Wrestling & Jiu Jitsu, He has real ground and pound (no Ben Askren).
