Overrated/Underrated

[essie]

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 liked this post before reading 'lazy as fuck' lol. Body language = / = work ethic.

He's a champion though and welterweight is 2 classes above featherweight, being an NBA fan is no excuse for the bad mathematics.

Yes the fight was at WW but he was fighting a "out of shape" LW that didn't really have to cut any weight to make the WW limit.

Overrated. Conor OFC dude has a left hand and a couple kicks. No ground game and can be taken down Unlike my #2 choice Lawler who shouldnt even be champ and his fights are way too close.

Underated. I'ma say Tony Ferguson. You will see,. Both Diaz bros. Win loss says nothing about their fights.I believe they never lost just time ran out.

Do you know anything about MMA? If Mighty Mouse and Dodson decided to not cut weight and fight at FW is MM now fighting an opponent two divisions up? Context matters bruh.

I guess you can't handle the truth.

He said right before he started his camp for DC he finally broke 240 on the scale.

In the article he weighed 218 but he clearly states he weighed 240 two months previous.

That's because he spent his layoff power lifting. Once he started focusing on Cardio and getting back into fight shape he, He was 218 about 1 month out of his scheduled fight. I don't know where you are getting 225 from.

That was overboard I admit but Gegard frustrates me like no other fighter. His calm is part of his appeal but I think its also somewhat detrimental to him. All the tools to be champion at MW and even LHW but for whatever reason... anyway one of my favourite fighters and just based on pure skills very underrated. Nice AV.

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

I doubt Bones has ever been "well over 225 at fight time". His cage weight has fluctuated across his career from 215 to 226 and he's generally in the cage somewhere around 218-222.

Even after his powerlifting phase he dropped back down below 225 during camp.

Underrated: Ben Rothwell, Tyron Woodley, Kelvin Gastulem

Rothwell is a great nominee for the underrated slot

Dude punked the shit out of Overeem and submitted Barnett.

I'd say Browne is underrated as well, especially around here lol

Gegard's complacency leads to some of the most boring high profile fights in the company. Latifi, Costa, Leites etc. He just doesn't care though.

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...The elephant in the room is the controversial wins over Hendricks and Condit. He is otherwise one of the most liked champs because of his 5th round rage and his laid back vibe.

That was a 100% true statement. Nate is a LW. Why would you call that trolling?
