Junior Dos Santos tells UFC he prefers Alistair Overeem over Cain Velasquez. http://mmajunkie.com/news/30038/jun...fers-alistair-overeem-over-cain-velasquez.mma "I'm not saying that's what's happening. I'm just saying to you that's what [Dos Santos] is saying. He wants this fight." Dana White. ------- Well, I prefer JDS vs Overeem over JDS vs Cain as well :deal
I don't blame JDS. Reem is still giving it. Reem is still the more compelling match up because we get to see Reems striking in MMA and we get to find out if JDS striking can handle an elite kickboxer.
I was looking for that last night... !!! coudln't remeber where is was from...epic movie... But yeah, that joke never gets old !
Personally I like to see JDS get Overeem first...excellent match-up. I also like JDS in that fight...but it will be explosive. Then have the Velasquez rematch...But trouble is, Velasquez has been given the shot.
The trouble is Overeem roided his way out of his scheduled bout with Dos Santos, and that match-up isn't possible until 2013. I wish they could have found a way to make Velasquez get in at least one more fight before fighting for the title again, but is it fair to let the champ go without a pay day?
Nobody wants to see the champ sit on his ass for a year or more, waiting for his best challenger to become available. Unfortunately, the two best options are unavailable, and Cain does have a very impressive win since Junior squashed him. It's not like Cain got an immediate rematch, he was down the list and moved up because of circumstance. :hat
Everyone wants the Overeem vs JDS fight, but that fight can't happen until probably January 2013. What is wrong with fighting Cain again in September and then Overeem in February or March? A young champ like JDS should be fighting at least 2 times a year.
Why people are supporting Cain still against JDS is beyond me. Let Cain win another fight or two or climb the ranks a bit. JDS vs Cain was the about the most one sided fight you can possibly have in UFC. I'd like to see JDS against Cormier in the mean time. OR against anybody he hasn't faced before seeing him vs Cain again.
