Meaning, traits of specific fighters that have been talked up (or down) to a huge degree, but maybe shouldn't be focused so on much? Examples -
Bisping's pillow fists (even before this, he had a good number of finishes by strikes)
Stipe's pillow fists back in the day lolol
Cain's pillow fists
Rumble's lack of cardio (went to decision with Arlovski and Davis just fine)
Glover's crippling slowness (if it was THAT much of a weakness I'd think he would be less successful...)
Tate's nonathleticism
Ronda's one-dimensionality (has multiple KO wins)
Khabib's one-dimensionality (see Ronda)
Overeem's glass chin (he actually took a lot of hits to knock out by Bigfoot and Browne while gassed, he's not getting sparked in one shot most of the time)
Cyborg's power that would destroy any woman in 1 round (has gone past the first many times)
Caraway's general suckiness when he obviously doesn't suck
Shogun's shot-ness, he's past prime but can clearly still hang with many in the division
^the shot-ness of many older fighters who lost recently eg. Lil Nog until they win again
Browne's lack of 'skill' yet he's highly successful
Bethe's terribleness, she's no elite but 'worst UFC fighter ever' = severe exaggeration
Anderson's bad TDD which actually isn't that bad
We do this a LOT lol.
