Most under rated skills in MMA

[Druken_Vovchanchyn]

What are some of the most under rated skills in MMA? Maybe they are unexpected and just okay or under rated and world class.

I will start

Khabib's guard/bottom game.
I have seen a few people suggest taking him down is the path to victory. However if you notice every time hes been taken down, he has threatened with a submission almost immediately and has gotten a few really nice finishes off of his back

 

[genecop]

The Eye Poke, and the Nut Strike.

 

[Flex Plexico]

Travis Browne’s listening skills


the man is a fantastic listener

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

The titty twister

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Erick Silva's potential

The acting on knee shots to the head.

These guys take head shot after head shot, with punches, knees, elbows, kicks standing and on the ground, but as soon as someone gets a knee to the head when they put their hand down they are in absolute agony, dying, coma-bound, in no possible way to continue, could die. Fake acting FTW

The ones with the best acting skills can get cheap wins in UFC, so acting is the most under rated for sure.

Joanna's elbows while she's pushed up against the cage.

Cejudos timing is pretty good too. Reis and TJ finishes really showcased it.

It's strange cos you could just call it distance management which all the best fighters have. GSP in particular always knew his distance until he lost a step eg Condit high kick. Main reason why I think Israel could be a long time champ, when he's in there he just seems to have more time to move than other guys have a right to
