Cro cop.

 

Although a great fighter he has never won a world title

 

A grand prix though ain't too shabby.

 

I'd have to say brandon vera is the most overrated fighter ever. Claiming he has a shot at 2 belts and he can't even make top 10 in either division.

I would describe vera more as a prospect who didn't reach his potential wheras all the people on the list are still held in high esteem by alot of fans.

Randy Couture? He is a 5 time UFC Champion. A Champion in two different weight classes. You can't argue with that. If there was a MMA HOF everyone of his opponents would be on it when they retire or is already in a HOF except maybe two.

 

BJ Penn? Champion in two different divisions. Has been Dominating the LW division for some time now.

 

Brock Lesnar? He is the Heavyweight Champion. Has finished every opponent except one. Look at the list of names he has fought and beat. You know everyone of them except his first fight.

 

Everybody that put these guys has Failed!

Out of that list it's a toss up between Chuck & Mir.Chuck defended won the title from Randy then defended it against Jeremy Horn, Randy, Babalu & Tito. How can people say that he's 1 of the greatest that ever lived? He's a good fighter but in my opinion he isn't one of the greatest LHW's ever.

Randy isn't over rated. People always expect him to get his **** beat then he wins.

 

Over rated means people think a certain fighter can destroy anybody' date=' does this sound like Randy Couture?

 

He's more of a fan favorite than overrated.

 

The list the OP made is crap.[/quote']

 

Im extremely surprised Bisping is not on here.

idc about BJ or Randy' date=' but how can you say Hendo. The guy fought gilbert yvel and big nog and won.....[/quote']

 

Read the post attached to my previous one, the one I quoted, and the context it is in before replying next time sport.

 

The guy stated BJ and Randy were the only two fighters to hold titles at two different weight classes, I was merely pointing out the Hendo has also achieved this feat, he actually held both at the SAME TIME, which is more impressive.

It's Forrest Griffin. Sorry, I know a lot of people like him and I do too he's funny as hell... but it's true man you just DON'T get your **** beat as badly as he did against Silva and still be considered a good "next opponent" for a guy as vicious as Jon Jones. People overrate him baaad and he's gonna continue to get his **** beat for it.

Why isn't fedor on the list he's much more overrated than all of these guys. he hasn't even got the balls to come fight in the ufc

 

Because regardless of anything he's done in the last few years, he was still the most dominant fighter of the era. You cannot take that away from him.

every legit fighter he has fought has been exposed in the ufc and he was no more dominent that chuck liddell and he's on this list

 

You mean guys who were considerably older, and far from their prime when they fought in the UFC, compared to when he fought them in Pride?

 

There is a reason why people whose opinions are respected in the fight game called Fedor the most dominant fighter of the time. So forgive me if I chose to ignore someone who can only claim "legit" fighters he fought have been exposed in the UFC as a means to discredit Fedor.

Oh, and he was no more dominant than Chuck Liddell had a 10 fight winning streak, ended by a TKO stoppage from The Natural.

Fedor had a 17 fight winning streak, ended by a NC, due to an accidental headbutt.

 

One example of his dominance over Chuck's.

 

Chuck's record - 21 - 8 - 0

Fedor's recod - 32 - 2 - 1 (which could be argued should be 32 - 1 - 2 as it was an ilegal elbow that caused the cut, which ended the fight in his first loss)

What about Urijah Faber, guy is 2-3 in his last five fights but somehow still is getting marketed as one of the best.

 

I agree with the Randy is not overrated he is a fan fav. he is typically the underdog and surprises us everytime with gutty wins. He's like Forrest however he doesnt get embarrassed every other fight.
