Fights that are considered great but you personally found boring and great fights that never got enough attention/credit.
 
Never understood people who said GSP fights were exciting.

Rockhold Weidman was still a pretty good fight.
 
Miesha vs Holly was boring as fuk imo .... besides the finish
Poirier vs Zombie is not praised enough .... for example
 
Forrest/bonnar was a slopfest.,
Edgar vs tyson griffin from the undercard of ufc 67, great back and forth battle.
 
Overrated - Griffin/Bonnar, Carwin/Lesnar, Hendricks/Lawler 2

Underrated - Mir/Nogueira 2
 
Overrated : Lawler vs MacDonald 2,Silva vs Sonnen 1.
Underrated: Couture vs Big Nog,Hendricks vs Condit.
 
Overrated -

MacDonald vs. Lawler 2
-Aside from the 3rd round onwards, it was a very slow start.

Holm vs. Tate was pretty bad, too, until the sub.
 
Griffin vs Bonnar is the most overrated fight in the history of the world. Great fight. But not nearly as great as it gets credit for. 2 guys punched eachother like 1,000 times each, and barely had a mark on their faces afterwards lol
 
Lawler vs Condit. Most think it's the best fight so far when you have fights like Conor vs Nate and the Ferguson last fight. They only think that because they can only think about the last round of that fight. The other 4 rounds was just ok.
 
Miesha vs Holly was boring as fuk imo .... besides the finish
Poirier vs Zombie is not praised enough .... for example
Po-boy vs. KZ is Top 10 on almost every posters' all-time fights list. Wouldn't call it underrated. Not overrated, either, it was a crazy fight.
 
Overrated - Jones vs Gustafusson

Undeerrated - Fedor Emelianenko vs Matt Linland.
 
Lawler vs Condit. Most think it's the best fight so far when you have fights like Conor vs Nate and the Ferguson last fight. They only think that because they can only think about the last round of that fight. The other 4 rounds was just ok.
I thought it was pretty solid. There was some action in each round, IIRC, especially in the 4th. Though, my experience was marred by the decision.
 
McDonald vs Lawler was overall pretty slow, despite a few great high points.

Felder vs Barboza should get talked about a little more.
 
Cro-Cop Fedor is somewhat of a boring fight to rewatch, but it was exiting to watch when it was live.

This is the case with a lot of fights the Meisha/Holly fight falls into this category as well.
 
Overrated : Lawler vs MacDonald 2,Silva vs Sonnen 1.
Underrated: Couture vs Big Nog,Hendricks vs Condit.
