Who are some Overhated fighers?

Who are some fighters who get a lot of hate but don't really deserve it.
I'll go first.
Bisping. Yes he was a big trash talker, but he said himself that his trash talking was mostly to sell fights and he seems like a genuinely good guy from what i've seen on his youtube channel.

Khabib

Jon Jones
One of the most humble, compassionate, friendly, kind-hearted man with a heart of pure gold

Well, right now there’s this Francis guy...people who are UFC fans instead of MMA fans really hate him.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Jon Jones

Was my next choice

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Bisping cheated to win and spat on his opponent afterwards. For a Brit he’s a class act tho

 

[Clark Rogers]

Jon Jones
One of the most humble, compassionate, friendly, kind-hearted man with a heart of pure gold

I think him and that McGregor fella are right up there together, bastions of fair sport, role models, humble and kind, we should all strive to be such great examples of the species.

I think Belal forgot the name. Good fighter but very dislikeable.

Colby. He gets 10x more hate for doing completely benign shit like spoiling movie endings on Twitter than fighters who take money and suck up to murderous Chechen warlords.

Also, Bisping was a dick in a few fights. See the Rivera fight for instance.

Guys like Shogun got a lot of unwarranted hate from quite a few fans. It’s a bit sad that as a fighter gets older they often get more hate.

curtis blaydes. that's the one i'm always the most confused about, why people seem to want to root against him. seems like a nice enough guy, pretty mild-mannered and humble and all that, and he's a well-rounded fighter in a notoriously weak division. and yet everyone wants to crap on him, it's weird.

 

[Duke Kensington]

Chuck gets an unreal amount of hate around here imo. The guys only problem is some substance abuse (sad but not really that wrong imo) and half of you guys act like he stole your dog

 

[Adamant__]

Ian Garry.

he gets hate for being extremely boring and ducking fights, no one cares about him spoiling movies lol

 

[LouisBolanos]

Well my point stands. How does being boring and ducking fights deserve more hate than sucking up to genocidal warlords?

 

[Simple Southerner]

Izzy.

I don't think I ever said it did?

I largely agree with your take, however, Colby does say some pretty ruthless shit, like telling Kamaru that his dead coach is burning in hell lol

Aljo- Class act, seems like a great guy, made his way up the correct way, yet gets booed out of the building in his own country of birth every fight

Ngannou- He was liked before, but now he’s heavily disliked by a specific type of person.

Usman- He was a great champ, classy, good role model, yet was widely disliked by a specific type of person.

Belal- Obvious

Woodley- Probably the most disliked champ of all-time

Khabib and Islam- Only disliked by a specific type of person, but that person represents a large % of the UFC community
