Is Dodson legit?
I remember when Dana white sd he was creating this division for him, well I haven't seen Dodson do much really in last 3 years. To be great u gotta beat greats.
Are you all saying Benevidez is a great now? The best fighter DJ has faced was cruz and he lost.
Bones Jones has beaten legends and greats. Same with Conor, beating aldo alone ranks higher than nething DJ has done thus far.
Might Mouse still had a 9-5 when he fought Cruz. If I'm not mistaken, that was the fight he says he finally decided he needed to shift to MMA full time. Dodson is legit in my book, his first run up to the title shot was wicked; slept Dillashaw, dominated Elliot and then finished Formiga. I had him beating Lineker too, that'd make his only UFC losses to MM.
Dodson and Benevidez are legit but Cejudo has been overrated from the jump just because of his background.
If DJ beats a Garbrandt or Dillashaw, I'll entertain the G.O.A.T but beating guys like Reiss or Tim Elliot does absolutely nothing for me
It's the way he wins though. Looking back at Silva and GSP; they fought some soft competition too, but dominating is key. You look at the run down and Johnson is fighting the best fighters in his division and not even getting touched. The first fights with Mccall and Dodson are the only ones that were even close. Reis for instance isn't an exciting name but the significant strikes went 108 - 16 and ended with an arm bar when Reis is a BJJ expert. Beating Cody or TJ would lock him up at the very top but right now he's got an argument; especially if he locks in the title defense record.
