Who is the most overrated fighter of all time?

[Alcibiades007]

I guess it should be a fighter who has achieved something and is definitely a good mixed martial artist but he hasn't really shown that consistent great form over the years or a certain memorable moment of ultimate brilliance but is somehow still always been considered a top fighter all this time for god knows what reasons.

I think we all know the fighter who ideally matches this description and there's no need for me to even type out this name.

please discuss

Fedor (1-3 in Strikeforce)

of course, that's clearly your intent.

Shogun, BJ Penn.

AS, GSP, and Fedor are legit

Stipe Miocic

Of all time? Probably BJ but Conor has the possibility to take it years down the line.

Uhm, can't peeps scrutinize fighters in a civil way?

Nick Diaz

Definitely Conor McGregor. I like his fights, and he's definitely a top fighter. But he isn't a pound for pound or all time great. At least not for his fighting. He's an outstanding Featherweight, but boasts a record of 1-1 at both LW and WW.

You'd have to ask the crowd, not the one guy pointing out a historical truth. That being said, I contributed.

One has broken the record for number of defenses. One has never defended at all

And don’t forget, she moved down a division to fight a smaller girl moving up a division

Lets see Stipe drop to LHW to fight someone coming up from MW
