Prob is, it would be stupid to try that against DC, whose wrestling is perhaps the best in either LHW/HW division. DC is very agile and quick for a big dude and if JJ throws a wild strike of any kind, DC could make him pay for it by coming underneath with a TD.
It's an intriguing fight, and I would love to see it one day. |
JJ will throw those wild strikes until it gets him KO'd ala Faber/Brown. Those kinds of mistakes change a person's carefree attitude in an instant. Half of JJ's threat is his wild unpredictability and my prediction is that he becomes much less dangerous and begins a conservatively fought .500 streak after his first loss.
A. Silva is also unpredictable and dangerous, but not wild. He is extremely calculating and lightning fast. I don't think JJ will ever have that.
