Fighters with highly underrated resumes

[GangGangGang]

Which fighters have a highly underrated/underappreciated resume of names? Were solely talking wins here. In this sport some wins age amazingly and some do not. Who are some guys that surprisingly have some really good names attached to them? Here a few that come to mind.

Beneil Dariush
-Anthony Rocco Martin
-Carlos Diego Ferreira
-Jim Miller
-Michael Johnson
-James Vick
-Rashid Magomedov
-Thiago Moises
-Drew Dober
-Drakkar Klose

Raphael Assuncao
-Jorge Masvidal
-Joe Lauzon
-Tj Dillashaw
-Pedro Munhoz
-Bryan Caraway
-Aljamain Sterling
-Marlon Moraes
-Rob Font

Chael Sonnen
-Jason Miller
-Renato Sobral
-Oleksiy Oliynyk
-Paulo Filho
-Yushin Okami
-Nate Marquardt
-Michael Bisping
-Shogun Rua
-Wanderlei Silva
-Rampage Jackson

Jake Shields
-Hayato Sakurai
-Yushin Okami
-Carlos Condit
-Paul Daley
-Robbie Lawler
-Jason Miller
-Dan Henderson
-Martin Kampmann
-Yoshiro Akiyama
-Tyron Woodley
-Demian Maia


Of course many of these wins were early in careers or at the tail end. Some impressive names on these guys resumes nonetheless. Who else comes to mind?

-James Vick

 

[GangGangGang]

Yeah the guy that was 9-0 and 5-0 in UFC. He would then go on to win another 4 straight after losing to Beneil. That James Vick. Did you forget that Vick was once 9-1 in UFC?

Did you forget how overhyped he was?

 

[Herwald]

I mean... Neil Magny:

Kelvin Gastelum
Robbie Lawler
Johnny Hendricks
Carlos Condit
Hector Lombard
Tim Means
Eric Silva

Yeah, yeah, yeah, me prime was a ballewn, but that's still an impressive list of names. Obviously, Eric Silva was very green, but still.

 

[GangGangGang]

Did you forget how overhyped he was?

9-1

 

[KingBeef]

9-1

He is still residing in the shadow realm.

 

[PicoPulse]

9-1

What is he 9-15 now?

edit-oh wait he won some after so like 12 and 15 now

 

[Spath]

I’d say Chris Lytle

wins over Matt Serra, a couple over Matt Brown, Dan Hardy, Din Thomas... A win over a guy named Beaver Beaver, too.

 

[Straatblaffer]

What is he 9-15 now?

edit-oh wait he won some after so like 12 and 15 now

So? He was considered a legit guy at the time, cant recall many people calling him overhyped..

 

[Straatblaffer]

Did you forget how overhyped he was?

Yeah, in retrospect. But at the time he was legit

 

[mirko>anyone]

I mean... Neil Magny:

Kelvin Gastelum
Robbie Lawler
Johnny Hendricks
Carlos Condit
Hector Lombard
Tim Means
Eric Silva

Yeah, yeah, yeah, me prime was a ballewn, but that's still an impressive list of names. Obviously, Eric Silva was very green, but still.

Erick Silva is still green. What a ludicrous listing. He's just a kid, broseph. You have to give these things time.

Khabib's resume is still underrated here by many haters

- Gaethje (destroyed Tony and ended his 8 year unbeaten streak of 12 fights)

- Poirier (beat prime Holloway and ended his 13 fight win streak, plus wins over Pettis, Eddie and Gaethje)

- conrat (double champ, beat aldo in 13 sec and beat #3 All Time Great LW Eddie)

- Iaquinta ( was on a 5 fight win streak, beat Lee twice)

- Barboza ( 4 fight win streak with wins over Gilbert, Pettis and Dariush)

- RDA (RDA was in his prime, 5 fight win streak with a win over a prime Cowboy, plus became Champion in less than a year after he lost to Khabib )

- MJ (has wins over Tony, Poirier, Barboza, Lauzon, Tibau and many others)

- Pat Healy ( was scheduled to fight giblert for the strike force title but Giblert kept pulling out and strike force was then bought by the UFC. Was on 5 fight win streak and had beaten Jim Miller the fight before Khabib)

- Tibau ( was a solid top 15-20 LW for many years. Has most amount of takedowns in LW division and the highest TDD % at LW. Plus has wins over many great LW's like RDA)

Shields and Assuncao stand out here, Shields is a 10x more accomplished WW than a guy like Colby and to be honest, more accomplished than Usman by quite a bit still too.

Michael Johnson:

- Tony Ferguson
- Edson Barboza
- Joe Lauzon
- Melvin Guillard
- Dustin Poirier

He's had some tough losses but man he's fought so many good guys at lightweight

 

[13Seconds]

Leon Edwards

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Dan Henderson

 

[G10]

I've always though "Stun Gun" DHK was very under-appreciated regarding his resume. I hope he comes back and fights again.

Rick Story has a really good resume, too. I'm amazed he never fought for a UFC title.

I know he's become a running joke, but a LOT of Michael Johnson's wins aged really well.

I just like shitting on him for his weird words of CTE to Justin. I dont understand how a fellow fighter can use that as insults, I can understand saying someones been hit a lot or too many but he was just being a knob.
