What is a single aspect of one fighter's game that is hugely overrated?

[pick999]

nick diaz world class bjj

just take him down and hes done

 

[ejazahmednit]

Anderson's BJJ and TDD
JDS's boxing(more so his movement)
Aldo's defensive boxing
Cain's cardio
Diaz bro's boxing(albeit effective)

Rose Namajunas - Grappling/Ground Game

Thug Rose grappling skills are extremely overrated. JJ was able to outgrapple her from bottom at end of 5th round.

 

[moreorless87]

And her fundamentals are just as bad there.

Not sure I'd say fundamentals so much as she's very limited, he throws a decent jab/straight but pretty much nothing else with her hands.

I mean the Crocop comparison was made in the past but besides being better at his go to strikes in his prime he could also throw in a lot more variety when needed, uppercuts on guys like Coleman and Aleks, bodyshot on Barnett the 3rd time, etc.

Holm was actually having some success vs Cyborg but the lack of variety is IMHO what really cost her.

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

Being the worst athlete when compared to 2 NFL players? Ok.
There is not a single UFC fighter who is more athletic than an NFL player. Not even close.

Yes there is.

Romero.



Also, considering Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub were in the NFL..... yeah there is definitely more athletic people than that.



Feel free to carry on believing NFL players are some sort of supergods though lol

Apparently submitting the likes of Fedor, Nogueira, Overeem , Cain etc makes you overrated LOL

When nubs like you say it's game over if you go to the ground with werdum and BJJ phenoms like Mark Hunt survive your guard with ease, I say that is what overrated means.

 

[chinarice]

Tony Ferguson's guard

Yeah it is so overrated that he just subbed one of the best fighters in his division with it.

Lol act like what I say is dumb when you spew fucking ridiculous nonsense like this.

 

[Ryoto Machida]

Jon Jones striking. He wins on reach alone. Also the black belts of Vitor, Nate Marquardt, Alan Belcher, Rashad Evans.They probably got them from a crackerjack box.

Marquardt and Belcher? Are you f'ing serious?

Marquardt submitted Jeremy Horn, and Belcher outmaneuvered Toquinho from the 50/50. Both are very legit

 

[PurpleAki]

Darren till take down defence. Iv been in same gym as him and watched him get taken down at will by anyone with decent fitness and strength.

Werdums guard is infinitely better than Fergusons, who got smashed by Castillo and Abel when on his back. This is a fact

 

[JosephTessaro]

Fixed.

Your taste in women is tainted, much like your location.

No one says Tony's ground game is game over so you don't even make sense.

 

[Squall10]

Belcher was submitted by Rich Clementi and Jorge Santiago also submitted Jeremy Horn. Ultimately their jiu jitsu wasn't enough to be competitive in the top ten of their division.

 

[TSK]

Big Nog’s boxing in his prime. The most overrated thing since Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

 

[TRUS8888]

Jon Jones PEDs vastly overrated.

People acting like he still wouldn't be GOAT without them.

Even her stance is bad. Often too much weight on the front foot, which takes power away from her left and slows down any kicking attempts that may come off of her front leg. Starts her combos from too far out, which often results in her jab being utterly wasted, etc. Quite a few issues, all of them basic and fundamental.

True although actually rather different to what you would technically get from an MMA fighter said to have bad fundamentals, normally its all overhands and hooks and few jabs.

Against Cyborg as well the lack of a good mid kick was pretty obvious, unlike classic Mirko there wasn't any misdirection there are Cyborg blocked almost every highkick was ease.

 

[gono btw]

Big Nog’s boxing in his prime. The most overrated thing since Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

His boxing got better in Pride, after the Cuban stint, he himself admitted that b4 going there, he hardly could throw combos.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Yoels wrestling in MMA too. He got out rassled by kick boxer Robert The Knuckles.

What, by the 27 year old that was going to wrestle for Australia in the commonwealth games?

 

[Brandon Wilson]

False.

Jake was vastly out struck for Rounds 1-4.

Only after Jake landed or attempted to land FIVE eye gouges, was GSP blinded enough for Jake to out strike GSP by a margin of 26% to 25% in the final round.

And the one that finally got all the way thru....

And by discussing this, we are negating the fact that GSP choose to stand and trade, not the other way around. Jake did fuckall for 4 rounds and still couldn't get a TD or KO on a half blinded Georges.

Don't let the facts get in the way of Dozers shit posting.
