Who should get the title shot against JDS to replace Overeem?
Triple OG Rapsodie:
And my original point stands. What a fighter might possibly accomplish in the future doesn't make today's light heavyweight division any more competitive. You're dealing in the maybe. Right now he's not good enough.
rayallen0:
His striking has steadily improved. Against Tim Boetsch he showed great leg & middle kicks. He also evaded Boetschs great striking. and is the only fighter to ever submit Boetsch in one of the greatest submissions of all time.
or how about his fight against lil nog where he landed 2 strong high kicks & a flying knee.
He has a ways to go but to judge him off 1 fight is ridiculous.
what does this have to do with the future? he already did it? he is a top 10 fighter. his only loss is to the #1 contender. His biggest wins were the original main event for this weekend.

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.

Sorry but LMAO. Since when was the Lil Nog fight a domination? He was losing on the feet then humped his way to a decision. Seeing as Rashad wasn't being dominated in his early years, I'd have to disagree with Davis looking better. Who are these other top 10 LWH he dominated? Gustafsson has looked good recently, but he was a rookie when they fought and not anywhere near the top 10.
No Davis isn't "obviously going to be something." History says otherwise. People always talk about a fighter's potential but most of the time it isn't reached. Like I said, you can't guess at his possible skills in the future as a reason the division is competitive. Ironic you bring up Kongo, because people were talking about his potential like he was the next big threat in the division. Though after a history of failing that talk tends to go away.

Don't even bother bringing up the Lil Nog fight. He showed weakness there and judging by his last fight, hasn't improved from it. If Davis is a top 10 fighter its further proof of a non-competitive division.
