I know I listed some fighters twice, but beating them twice is significant too IMO considering the level those guys still compete at
And Joseph Benavidez is a great fighter, so beating him twice is substantial. Dodson too.

Goes to show how shallow the lighter weight classes could be.

Wilson fought in bellator, and had a decent run. He still had four loses in bellator. Including two loses to pitbull, one being ko, and also being koed by dantas. There needs to be more talent all around at the lighter weight classes.

Easy work for Johnson.

It surprises me that someone who is the best fighter anywhere (technically speaking) is so rejected by the fans. Boring or not, that guy is a master of his craft and no one had ever come close to the consistency in his game. DJ is hands down a contender for the (ambiguous) p4p title and it's impossible to argue against that. He beats these lesser folks because he's already run through the entire division almost twice (three times in some cases). Let the dude get another payday before the TUF thing is all sorted out.
agree with the quote above, but not the one below

nobodies? Get outta here :D some aren't championship material, but hardly nobodies.

and all those fights were 5 rounders.
He fights nobodies because he already destroyed all of the somebodies.
He may be the best but fails to impress me or others. Only way he will be getting attention and respect would be if he moves up his weight class and becomes a champion there.

I don't really care if he fails to impress you, that doesn't affect my enjoyment of watching him fight. If you aren't impressed, that is your problem and you don't have to watch. He is making a living and supporting his family all while being the most dominant champ in the UFC. He doesn't have to do shit.

Sure he is dominant lol . Can he sell pay per views alone.. Your enjoyment is 0.1 % of majority which fails to do shit

Once again... I don't give a fuck if he doesn't sell pay per views. I don't work for the UFC.

All I care about is watching the best fighters in the world compete and he is as good as a fighter as we've ever seen in the octagon.

If you didn't enjoy that clinic he put on Cejudo I don't know what to tell ya.

and when people look at fight's like BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk, they can reference DJ-Cejudo in a similar vein imo

Cejudo was nothing special . He had hype behind him that's all . what i am saying is DJ needs to do something special to get peoples attention.

Let us go back a bit before Ronda had the Holly-fight lined up and people shouted for her to fight Cyborg. My dear Atto, do you put the same logic on Ronda?

And please do not try to tell me that Ronda's fights / skills impress you more than DJ's. That would just embarrass yourself.

does lineker really have that much trouble getting to 125, I would be interested in that fight before most of the other potential matchups
Yeah.
Four fights he had trouble making the weight. At one point Dana forced him to move up.

Defeating an undefeated Olympic wrestler in the clinch effortlessly isn't impressive?

What would you consider impressive?

Ronda's judo is far superior .. she had only 1 bad night so you can't judge her. I am not saying DJ is not good , i am saying he needs to have better challengers .ohh and yes Ronda needs to fight cyborg when time is right

I think that before he ever moves up they should make this fight at a catchweight of 130. Lineker's shown he can make that weight (but not 125 lol), and he's probably the hardest hitter by far at 135 and 125. I think DJ's speed and technique means he runs through him, though.

Still, I'd love to watch that fight
