Who is the most overrated fighter in Sherdog history? I'm not talking about overrated by the "casual fans" or general public. I'm talking specifically about members of these forums.

Almost anytime these men are brought up, people act as if no one could beat them when evidence suggests otherwise. Shogun not so much anymore, but for a long time people couldn't get over "prime" Shogun. The man's prime was so short it's almost irrelevant, lol. But at least he was able to defeat the undefeated Dragon. Unlike the next contender.

Mousasi fans always swear by him that he can beat almost any opponent by whatever he wants not named Jon Jones. But this guy got schooled by an older Machida, when he was touted by his fans as a striking GOD, who would eat Anderson for breakfast. Ironically the only other person people feel Gegard would match up badly against is someone I think he'd beat.

That man is Yoel "Never loses a fight according to God" Romero. According to Sherdog he's the scariest fighter to ever live. With his muscles and Olympic wrestling that he rarely relies on. "But his muscles and his power." Don't get me wrong, Romero is a fighting genius in his own right, but he is limited. Much more so than many of his fans can see.

So who takes the crown, or is there someone else you have in mind.
 
You are simply wrong, TS

Moose is underrated- look at his records and his opponents
Yes, he had his losses, same as Silva and Fedor. So?
Those fans that you talk about are very rare
I haven't read any comment this year regarding Moose being able to beat anybody

Romero - not overrated, the man has KO power, athleticism, fight IQ

Shogun - injuries fucked up his career. Shogun in his prime was a beast.

Naw, I'm not gonna call him overrated because he was loved. Because he's on Sherdog there was always a very vocal group saying he'd get exposed by a wrestler or that he's overrated. Most people shit on him now.

It most has to do with him sucker punching old man and all the other nasty thing he's done.
 
I think, with the no-wrestling European fighters, Overeem is underrated.

You aren't looking that hard mate. Been plenty of threads saying Moose is the MW Goat and would be the most dangerous opponent for Jon Jones. Funniest one was the GOAT one which started a day or so after he lost to Lovato Jr.

Lol you're only proving my point by comparing Mousasi to Anderson and Fedor. LMFAO, Moose has never had a run comparable to Anderson or Fedor.
Your other points I pretty much stated in my OP. They are still overrated.

Don't argue with a Moose fan mate. Apparently he's the uncrowned MW GOAT. These guys are impossible to argue with. Kinda sad in a sense because I actually like Moose and he always puts on good fights, win or lose, but god his fanboys irk me.
 
I wouldn't say Yoel is overrated on here.. more so there are a lot of closet homos that want his dick on this site

Maybe considering the hype, but in a perverse sense I think it's almost come full circle now and he's underrated. It's back to being Aldo was a fluke, full camp and cream Mendes would have crushed him, he lost to Diaz twice, the decision was fixed, and Eddie was paid to take a dive sorta stuff.

SMH. Sad to say, he is but it's somewhat true. And I'm not basing that off his record. The man was beaten by Frankie Edgar twice in his prime, yet some foolish people excuse it for lack of motivation. Even at his best, his run at 155 was not Godly like a some make it see., and he did have weaknesses that people who don't pay attention couldn't see. For instance he really liked to go toe to toe and was pretty flat footed at times. Very entertaining in his prime. I paid for his cards.
