Who are some Overhated fighers?

[Lee_]

Tito Ortiz definitely.

His hate is goofy, and the way most of Sherdog is they should be championing him for standing up to Dana during the dark ages.
Instead of that people universally can't stand him it seems like and he is just a meme at this point.

The people of the city counsel in Tito's hometown might disagree lol.

Tito is a walking and talking comedy act and doesn't even realize it. I think he is more of a laughing stock than a hated man.

Colby Covington

His haters aren't smart enough to realize most of the attention, which is a form of promotion, he receives is from them.

Without them, he wouldn't be getting all these title shots.

Hahaha

That’s not the reason Colby is getting title shots. You know why…

Actually I don't hate Colby.

So I do know why.

 

[Mind Mine]

Tim Sylvia, Aljamin Sterling, DC, Curtis Blaydes, TJ Dillashaw, Tyron Woodley, Chris Weidman, Luke Rockhold, Paddy Pimblet

Dillashaw really? Weidman I don’t necessarily agree with the hate but Spider fans dreamed of a clean rematch and only have the lasting memory of a broken leg and a man we think Silva would have beat cheering and being proclaimed the new next coming. I outgrew not liking him for that but I would be a liar to say I didget my thrill off some of this losing streak

I have not encountered an individual in the past 15-20 years with a genuine dislike for Tito. They consider him an ass hat and all and well…..

 

[RoñaCastroJr]

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

 

[bongwater]

jones, conor and colby

Maybe but his hate in his hayday was very palpable, and I never understood it.
Dude was an alternate his first UFC and didn't even get paid but went out there and gave it his all and forged that night into a career.
Have to respect that some.

Black champions easily get hated on the most. Francis, DC, Jon, Izzy, Usman, Leon, Woodley, Sterling , Mighty Mouse etc. They’re always criticized and disliked the most, not a shocker based on the demographic or skews and the level of education etc….

Francis hate is recent, he wasn’t hated as a UFC champion. DC is getting more hate as a commentator than a fighter from what I’ve seen, although during the Jones feud people took sides I guess. Jon Jones doesn’t get enough hate. He’s done truly terrible things in his life, undeniably a great fighter though. Izzy has a divisive personality and has played it safe occasionally which has lead to a lot of decisions. Usman is cringe, and two of his defences are against Masvidal so people don’t respect his run as much as someone like GSP, rightly so. Leon doesn’t get hate at all from what I’ve seen on here, that’s a weird one to point out. Woodley was boring in a time when welterweight was really fun, he also did terrible music and terrible acting so of course he’s gonna get hate. Sterling won the belt by arguably over playing a foul, then won a split decision to defend, beat TJ, then another split decision against a flyweight who took 3 years off, and his personality is a bit cringe for some. Mighty Mouse didn’t get much love when he was champion because again he was so dominant and went to a decision a lot. I feel he’s well liked on here now, and people look back on him fondly.

You could easily have made this list with other champions for the exact same reasons like Conor, Ronda, Cejudo, Khabib, Islam, Cyborg, Bisping, Rose, Esparza etc. Or even people who have never been champion like Colby, Belal, O’Malley, Strickland but you decided not to use any of them and instead claim people who use this site are uneducated racists.

 

[infinite666]

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

Boring? Whatever you say nerd theres not 1 fighter who puts on a pace like he does

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Tim Sylvia and it ain't even close.

 

[SuperAlly]

You can just hate white people on your main account Dreyga, you're not fooling anyone.

Yeh, this had the potential for a good thread until people basically turned it into a "teh racizms" thread.

You aren’t wrong at all, but I’d leave Jones out. He’s loved by conservative-leaning fans. Dana White bootlickers love Jon Jones, for instance.

 

[AmonTobin]

Bisping, Adesanya, Ngannou.
Last week: “screw Francis it’s all his fault”.
Today: “we never wanted Francis-Jones anyway”.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Anthony Smith

36 career wins
20 KO/TKO
14 Submissions

Dude is a JBG disciple 101 but people hate on him because he couldn’t beat up a guy who was high on meth. The reasoning there is just amazing.

ok its just racism until it suits you that its not?:

 

[Steve Fox]

No amount of hate is ever enough Sherbro.

 

[MerAndre DvalishFili]

Derrick Lewis has been known to overheat, that’s why he took off his shorts that one time

 

[Better Every Day]

Ronda Rousey

I agree.
Ronda never let a fight go to a decision throughout her entire career. Ever.
How many fighters can say the same?
She was a finish, or be finished, fighter. Always exciting to watch

 

[Vegesus44]

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.
