Please choose one fighter from the present or the past. Name one part of their fighting game that you feel is overrated and another part of their game that you believe may be underrated.
For me, I'll say Paulo Costa's power is overrated. Not saying he isn't a brute and strong as shit. But you hear people often describe him as though if he connects on you once it's a wrap when this is not the case. He throws heavy shots and heavy volume. But he's not sleeping people one shot style. At least not with head shots, like Jeremy Stephen's or Rumble Johnson, or Francis.
I think his technical abilities may be underrated by some. He obviously has great body work. Cuts off the cage well. Solid striking, even though he throws mostly power shots. But he is trying to get you out ASAP.
