Who is UFC 224's most underrated fighter?

[Eddieg]

In your opinion, which fighter on the UFC 224 card is the most underrated, under the radar, or least appreciated?

On the main card, I would argue that Rocky P and Brian Kelleher have not received a lot of love despite their skill and achievements.

Oliynkik, Zaleski dos Santos, and Mina are the others that jump out at me. What do you think?

I write a recurring series highlighting the careers and skills of fighters I feel deserve more love. For the last event, I focused on Thiago Santos.

UPDATE: The winner was Zaleski dos Santos. I had a lot of fun writing about him, you can check it out here. http://mmasucka.com/2018/05/10/fighter-of-interest-elizeu-zaleski-dos-santos/

 

[Übermacht]

Nick Hein. Had some boring fights but is definitely underrated. Only recent loss to James Vick.

 

[BigMuffler]

Mandy Nunes, she still doesn't get the hype she deserves for having the best resume in WMMA history.

Rousey
Tate
Shevchenko X2
GDR
Budd
McMann

Even Gomes, Porto and Baszler would be considered top wins for other female fighters, and she's DESTROYED most of her wins other than Shevchenko.

She's truly the Lioness!

Oliynkik

The Boa Constrictor! I think he'd make a better highlight in your series, mate.

 

[Hotora86]

Aleksei Alekseevych Oliynyk via Ezekiel choke.

 

[RyuHayabusa]

Non trt belfort

 

[Foolish]

Lineker is a dangerous fighter who is primarily known for being Overweight. 11-3 UFC record with only loss at BW being to Dillashaw.

You could see him fighting for a belt soon, BW doesn't exactly have a high ceiling to contendership.

I still think Warley has potential even though he shit the bed vs Barbarena and was dominated by Usman. He has skill everywhere and that guillotine is a deadly weapon.

Definitely thought about the good sergeant. The boring fights thing might make it difficult to sell him in an article\with gifs.

Mandy Nunes, she still doesn't get the hype she deserves for having the best resume in WMMA history.

I love Nunes. However, she has headlined some huge events and been given a lot of opportunities in the spotlight. Where she is most underrated is as a person, the UFC refuses to highlight her personality, life, and relationship with Nina Ansaroff. I'm sure she'll get plenty of article treatment from others.

Lowkey doing a great job holding it together despite his body failing him.

I feel JFL is properly appreciated, at least from what I see.

We need a poll.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Dunno but the card is overrated 100%.

lol if you pay for that

Who's rating this card highly? I think most realize it's not worth a PPV

 

[PeterGriffin]

I'll be that guy.

 

[George Costanza]

Kelvin could be a serious threat if he dialed in his diet and went back down to 170 where he belongs

 

[Eddieg]

We need a poll.

I would like one. How can we make that happen?

 

[reddhelium]

sean strickland is underrated imo. his only losses are to ponzi by decision over 3 years ago, and usman by decision 1 year ago.

 

[Skarsgard]

Brian Kelleher

Considering the main event, every single male on the card is the correct answer.
