Cormier is over hyped

[WimpLo2]

He takes three rounds of wrestling fucking to finally submit a gassed out 43 year old 199 lb Hendo and is scared to trade punches with him, while Vitor Belfort, a middleweight, destroys Hendo in less then 2 minutes.

Can't finish Frank Mir and is content to just push him against the cage for the decision.

Can't finish Josh Barnett who another overhyped fighter in Travis Browne destroys in 1 minute.

The only impressive win he has is against BigFoot Silva and that was over 3 years ago.

The hype for this guy is ridiculous and Jones will poke the shit out of his eyes and finish him.

He is in that resume building stage. Not surprised that he could be viewed in the "over hyped" category

 

[tmurfin]

Idk man, he looks like an absolute animal in there. He's a wrestling based fighter, what do you expect? I don't expect him to finish every fight in the 1st round, I expect him to ragdoll the shit outta his opponents and dictate where he wants the fight

 

[Fujita]

He makes good fighters look shit.. anyone who dominates Josh Barnett, Bigfoot, Hendo is not over hyped.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

The worst threads on Sherdog are those complaining that a fighter is overly hyped. I disagree that he is, but so what even if it is true?

 

[berimBOWLoh]

ive never seen Hendo manhandled like that. to say it wasnt impressive is silly, he took him off his feet like he was a child.

This. Belfort has historically been a front runner who is an animal in the first round, why even bother comparing a wrestler like DC, a guy who is far more technical and reserved in his approach, to the Belfort blitz? Just because he didn't finish Hendo in the first round doesn't mean shit. He tossed Hendo over his head, which is something Belfort didn't do, there's no doubt he's pretty good and not "over hyped."

This.

I'm not 100% sold on him beating Cain or Jones yet but DC is definitely legit.

Put cummins was as easy as a morning cup of coffee for 99% of ufc lhw, Hendo wasn't even a 200 pounder last night. A heavyweight should be able to toss around a middleweight, in fact I would have questioned him even more if he didn't. My boy Bones will derail the train early next year so no worries, all will be right with the world.

 

[Bob Sapp Junior]

You can show beauty to a man but you can't force him to appreciate it.

 

[theanticool]

Guy has like 5 top ten wins and hasn't lost a round yet. I'd say he's accurately ranked.

 

[Bigfoot Sylvia]

You're overhyped.

 

[smellmyfarts]

Meh, Both Jones and Gus will lose to this guy. I can't see anyone in MMA beating him but Cain........... Real talk

 

[D1wrestla]

You butthurt?

 

[TewPoint0]

He's a very gifted, athletic, and intelligent fighter. He's preserving himself and about to take that strap.

Hendo was 204 in his last fight and 207 against Fedor. Dude has always been a small LHW. What the hell is your point?

 

[DirtyLandry**]

Can't wait for Jones vs DC so DC hype train will crash

My gosh you people latch on to anybody

The guy beat up on a person 25 lbs lighter than him and a decade older. relax

yeah, he dominated hendo like no one else has. and he absolutely controlled mir, barnett, bigfoot. he's a very solid fighter and is one of the few remaining candidates to give jones a run for the belt. and i think he'd be a tough matchup for jones tbh.

 

[Rico]

Sherdogger's are P4P the biggest haters of fans of any sport. Seriously, over and over again I see people on here grasping at straws to constantly discredit a fighters success. It's become plain pathetic.

You are fucking delusional for calling Cormier hyped. And you sound young, like 18, plus a hater to boot & possible troll = the worst type of MMA fan.

For the sake of argument, even if he does lose to Bones, which I don't think will happen, he is still an incredibly gifted athlete and one of the best to compete in MMA imo.

He was Team USA's Olympic wrestling captain. CAPTAIN. Do you even know what that means? He didn't start MMA in some backyard brawl. He is a professional athlete who was disciplined under very high standards, probably higher than most MMA training camps.
