Overrated fighters who become underated fighters

[Dark Individual]

I thought Diaz did that?

Diaz fights should have done it but after Conor destroyed Eddie, his hype went through the roof again.

Conor McGregor is still vastly overrated and as done nothing to prove he's been underrated even winning two belts in two division proved very little to me only that he can be carried to belts and put in one time performances.

Bisping was fairly overrated in the early part of his UFC career. Then TUF 9, and UFC 100 happened, and he became criminally underrated for pretty much the entirety of the rest of his career, probably because people didn't like him moreso than his percieved lack of talent. To the point where Shertards were saying journeymen, bantamweights etc would beat him. Some even saying they fancied their own chances against him. He was predicted by most of Sherdog to lose to every opponent he was booked against, even as he continued to prove them wrong over and over.

Not sure if Conor was ever underrated. People just questioned whether he could hang with big wrestlers.

I think he may be underrated currently because of his recent losses. I think he’s should still be a betting favorite against most top 155’ers. Except for khabib, obviously. He’ll never beat him, IMO.

Stipe

Ya, good call. IMO, the rematch is a coin toss.

Erick Silva. Everyone said he was the next young prospect WW champ and overrated him. And now everyone says he's just too young of a prospect and he totally sucks and underrates him.
