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.
He spit on
Jorge Rivera
Should have been disqualified for it.

ben askren. i never understood why people said he was an asshole. all his “trash talk” was obviously tongue in cheek, and honestly pretty far above the belt. came across like a very wholesome guy. yet when he lost, he got shit on like he was full on heel. maybe people just thought he was so boring that they actually got angry with him.
 
no way. he doesn’t get enough hate.

I don’t much like him. But what has he actually done that is so bad?

The knee?
Yan’s slow start?
TJ’s cheating ass arm?
Henry’s Age?

I don’t see it.
 
Tim Sylvia and it ain't even close.
Most underappreciated fighter of all time, with or without his one failed test (which I personally feel was more so for his physique than his performance, and he owned it anyways) -- came from getting bullied his whole life to becoming a dominant UFC champion; deserves to he a Hall of Famer far more than some of the inductees.

the knee, and everything that happened since. also factoring into the equation are his fans.

Nah he's a dick. He did not spit on Riverra's corner and hit him with an illegal knee to sell the fight.
 
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.
Let me stop you at a few points. Whatever Jones does in his personal life I want you to take that hate on over to Jones personal life and keep that whining shit which is none of my business or yours the fuck out of mma. See we fans that are here for great fights from great fighters don’t care to see said whiny antics carried out for 15 years. They distract from mma. There is not a damn thing you can do to prove anyone doesn’t like certain fighters due to their race. You are 100% correct. Unless they publicly say that this is true. However one thing you nor anyone else on this earth will do is to tell someone else what the fuck their experience is as a fan and you can shut smooth the fuck up if that’s your intent. If someone tells you that their experience as a fan was seeing people hate on Black fighters you shut the fuck up. That’s their experience not yours and it isn’t up for debate. I will tell you what my experience and perspective is as a fan not you. Anyone in denial there are people that have a prejudiced or racist view in the mma audiences is a fucking clown. If you are defending said behavior you are a clown. If you have something to say to refute that people experienced this you Sir are a racist defending clown. At the end of the day nobody pointed a finger at you. Yet this is THE BEHAVIOR not skin color you decided to defend or deny occurs. That to me is weird because I have seen it occur personally. If it isn’t you doing it and you aren’t the one who did it then who the fuck are you to tell me what I experienced as a fan? Do tell?

Really, you're gonna defend a douche like Bisping? Sell fights? Go watch the ultimate fighter where he was a contestant and coach. Dude is a total douchebag and the kind of person who likes to get a raise out of people. No wonder people loved when Hendo punched his face in.
 
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….

Nope. If we are talking about Sherdog, none of the fighters you listed come even close to the level of hate/support - ratio Ronda, a white woman, had.

Ronda is the clear number 1 answer on this topic.
 
Bisping was a piece of shit in like half a dozen of his fights. TS must be new.

Good chance this poster is in fact himself a racist
 
O'Malley and Aljo gets the most hate by sheep fanboys
So i wonder who they will support whey they fight
Aljo beating Yan and making millions of losers cry was perfect
 
Nah he's a dick. He did not spit on Riverra's corner and hit him with an illegal knee to sell the fight.
Tbh I haven't seen that fight yet.

You're right about me being new bro lol, I'm too young and new to watching MMA to have seen all of his fights. I'll have to check out some more of Bispings older fights like the one where people are saying he used an illegal knee.

No one hates DC except Jones fans. I love Jones but i can understand if someone hates him. Hating Tyron The Victim Woodley is pretty normal, but i still like him because it was more of him being dumb af and brainwashed, he is not a bad guy. Meanwhile these Nigerians acts like Black supremacists, Usman was saying ''I'm happy a brother got the belt'' after losing to Leon. Imagine if some white guy says i'm happy still a white man has the belt. You would cry about racism but you don't say anything about it. That's not equality liberal boy. Stylebender loves using the c-word and the most racist guy in the UFC. I don't know about DJ hate, only unjusted hate is Sterling hate but even that is understandable. I'm not some dumb westerner so i'm totally unbiased, i'm expecting you to do the same. People from west always say they are against racism etc. but they are the most racist lol
You can't be against racism by defending black version of nazis.
