Conor's last fight was a loss. He hasn't defended his belt. The guy is a good fighter who is a product of hype and is overrated. Lawler did do well at MW but never had the discipline he does now.

Lawler shouldn't even have a belt, he clearly lost 3 rounds against Condit and was outstruck by a wide margin. McGregor has a 7 fight win streak at FW with 6 of them being KOs.

I'll kick this off by picking Frankie Edgar as being the most overrated fighter and also Gunni Nelson just pips Jorge Masvidal to the most underrated fighter in the UFC right now. Who do you all have?

Overrated Frankie Edgar

Underrated Gunni Nelson

I'm not sure why Edgar gets a mention here. He spent years fighting against much bigger fighters at LW and even became champion. He was the rare example of a fighter being successful without cutting weight. And now he is on a 5 fight win streak at 145 and he could conceivably make the cut to 135.
IMO he is underrated.

Lawler did more damage, controlled the fight, had the biggest moment of the fight, the knockdown and fight metrics don't always tell the story. He won that fight. Conor definitely lost his last fight and he still hasn't defended his FW title one time.

LMAO, okay bud. Landing a few big shots shouldn't outweigh getting busted up for a full 25 minutes.

Overrated - Conor... the guy is still listed on the P4P lists and showed that pound for pound he can't beat a top 5 guy one weight class up.

Underrated - Lawler... he is never mentioned in the top 2 or 3 P4P discussion and I think he has the best recent resume of anyone, he also has the longevity and I think if he wanted to he could go up and beat Rockhold tomorrow. I hope he gets the GSP fight and puts himself in the context of the legends by beating Georges (nothing against GSP just like Lawler).

Lawler,there's a reason he moved down to WW,he wasn't a top MW.
RDA,MM and Jones and a few others win with much less doubt,they should always be ahead.
No way he's top 3 P4P when all skills considered,and I think Rockhold squashes him.
 
I cant believe you think Frankie is overrated !! ur crazy dude !!
anyways , i am 2 ...

Overrated - Jones
Underrated - Michael Mcdonald

:D
 
Over rated-Bader
Bisping

Outside UFC-Mamed(many people consider him top 5 talent at 185--JUST NO)


Under rated Werdum (unbelievable but people still don't recognize his talent and ledger)

Outside UFC Daley....if this guy gets another crack in UFC,welters beware
 
Calling Edgar overrated means I dont know anything about the MMA...
 
Somehow no ones said the most overrated of all time yet.

OR = Honda by huge margin.

UR = Gegard Mousasi, extremely talented & skilled, lazy as fuck, complacent even.

I haven't forgot, he has a serious set of skills. Only he isn't very intelligent in looking after his brain, I've seen videos of Brazilian fighters punching each other to train their chins. They aren't the sharpest tools in the box over there.

Yeah I've seen that video too
 
Over rated: Maia, he is perhaps the most one dimensional top ten fighter in the UFC right now, Jim Miller with a size advantage.

Underrated: the UFC doesn't do underrated, underrated doesn't sell tickets which is why every UFC fighter has world class something.

Jones has never fought someone 1 weight class up, nor has Aldo so your point is moot.

When's has Jones actually fought somebody that weighed 205 punds? Machida? Everyone else he fights cuts weight to make 205 and on fight day are usually well over 220.
 
Overrated- Shogun. To much emphasis gets put on his career in Pride. He was never even able to put together a three fight win streak once he got to the UFC. People still try to put him in the LHW Goat conversation which is BS. He went on a good run for about a year and a half but had no longevity in his career.

Underrated- James Vick

so does Aldo, Max Holloway, and Dustin u derp. Everyone cuts weight.
Jones is a natural HW bruh, he just doesnt fight there because reach and height is massively part of his game.

OSP vs Jones might as well have been a HW fight. They were both well over 225 at fight time.

Bullshit. After a fight camp Jones cuts from around 215. Everybody likes to say Jones is some Huge LHW when the fact is that he cuts less weight than most flyweights.
 
overrated - Robbie Lawler

underrated - Tony Ferguson
