Most Overrated fighter currently in the UFC?

Sherdog is apparently too dumb to understand what overrated means.

barao is a 10-1 favorite over dillashaw.
 
Conner McGroober, Rory Macdonald, Michael Bisping, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, every WMMA fighter except for Ronda Rousey.
 
McGregor, Rory , Benson , Overeem, Texeira , Sonnen , Bisping , Jacare , Matt Brown , Ricardo Lamas , Miesha Tate
 
First to come to mind...McGregor. All this talk about how he's the greatest thing etc. Beat a couple guys, nobody that is top notch. All kinds of hype, new tattoo gets blasted all over the Internet. Fight some top guys and destroy them;then run your mouth.
 
Renan Barao. People act like he's a god when in fact he's very beatable.
True, he doesn't like pressure (no kicker does, CC-Fedor being the classic example) and swings for the fences when he gets drawn into punching exchanges. He doesn't have much effective defense in general that I can see.

Dillashaw also showcased nice technical striking against Easton, so conclusively anyone who thinks Barao will just steamroll TJ is a dumbass.

After some milling and feinting, Dillashaw tags Easton with a right hand and angles off by drawing up his rear foot while kicking out his left foot to land in a southpaw stance on a deep inside angle with his right shoulder between Easton's own, cracks Easton with a lead straight which visibly unseats him before throwing a southpaw left straight and orthodox right straight then weaving his head back to finish his combination. Just beautiful.

Barao's chin, conditioning, ground game and takedown defense are all outstanding though.

Which doesn't have a set definition.

It pretty much does. The term pound for pound implies "if weight is equal."

If Honda Housey on that list, it needs to be changed to gender for gender. unless you think she can beat Renan Barou.
 
Lets break it down by division:

FLW: dont know, dont even care

BW: Barao. division is super thin right now, long win streak means nothing when half the wins are can crushing in brazil. healthy cruz would smoke gollum.

WBW: Tate... as much as I love cupcake(s), she's been getting handled pretty bad since coming to the UFC.

FW: Lamas. Ridiculous at #3. Cub, K. Zombie, Poirier, McGregor, and Bermudez would all finish him.

LW: Benson Henderson. Already stated.

WW: Woodley. Condit match was a fluke. Got Mortal Kombat finished by Marquardt and humped by Shields not long ago.

MW: Bisping. Why does The Count get called out so much? Because he's a big money but easy ass fight.

LHW: Sonnen. Chael can't be messing around at Light Heavy, he's going to get shellacked.

HW: Travis Browne. Got badly exposed against The Troll King but a lot of people still think he's a world beater.


When was Woodley jumped by Shields? You're an idiot.

Your post overall was stupid as well.

Well 'pretty much implies' doesn't really set it in stone. The criteria is subjective because of how fantastical the idea itself is. If you can account for strength, speed, cardio, etc. changes that come with size difference, it isn't a huge stretch to account for gender differences as well.

I think Sherdog must be made up mostly of Plastic Paddies and dudes who want giant neck tattoos.
 
Shogun and BJ because some people still actually think they are championship material...
 
When BJ takes his yearly trips out of retirement it's him. But when BJ goes back into retirement it's Overeem. So basically BJ and overeem play hot potatoes with the overrated title.
