This fight is interesting, cause we've never really got too much of a chance to check out JDS' takedown defense, if Brock gets top position it's over for JDS. I expect Brock to go on a shootfest and probably get rocked and pounded out.
Betting odds just dropped and JDS is only a -155 favorite.
I'm actually kinda hyped for this fight cause there's a lot x-factors that can play out like JDS's TDD and whether Brock's standup improves by June.

JDS is somewhat getting shafted in this one, IMO. His resume at HW is just as impressive, if not more impressive, than any of the young HW's...and he was guaranteed a title shot. Now he has to fight another top level guy, and go through an entire season of TUF.
Sure, great exposure...
IMO, with the new WEC merger...I would have had Dominic Cruz vs Urijah Faber as TUF coaches...would have been a great chance to get the smaller divisions some exposure, plus I think it would have made for an entertaining season since they hate each other.
JDS speaks limited English (though its pretty good compared to others) and Brock just isn't a people person, period.
That said, I'll still be watching.

But, he probably can't afford to sit out eight months waiting for Valesquez to get healthy. This will be a big payday for the guy since I'm sure he gets paid to be on the show. Plus, the fight and its a big fight that he should win too..
But if he can't beat Brock, its unlikely he'd beat Cain either way.
And also Cruz is injured, having surgery, so that's why that didn't pan out. I think that was probably the plan. Because it was the smart move.. But with Brock on TUF, the ratings will probably be pretty high. Wrestling fans are gonna be tuning hoping to see the Undertaker or some F-5s.

Well JDS could had turned it down, not like it's anyone's fault that Cain got injured.
Brock may not be a people person but he is most def a guy that shows up on camera. Check out the fruit shooting video or his post/pre fight interviews or go back to his WWE days. The guy knows how to put on a show and JDS will only benefit in the long run from it.
Cruz vs Faber was my number one chaoice for coaches but this choice works as well.
