Who do you think are the most overrated fighters in their division.
For me its
LW: Clay guida he's 5-3 in the UFC out of those five wins he's won 3 decisions 2 of which were split decisions. Alot of people claim this guy is on of the best in the LW division but i think hes pretty garbage, all he does it lay on his opponents for most of the 3 rounds. The one thing that is really good about him is his cardio. Hopefully a fight with sean sherk or Joe Lauzon is coming up so they can expose him for the fighter he is.
WW: Karo Parysian 10-3 in the ufc has gone to decision in 8 of his wins. His win against Kim was very controvesial and i personally thought kim won the fight 29-28. Most of his wins are over mediocre fighters like Burkman, serra and lytle. The one thing the guy has though is Judo, and he is a very exciting fighter. What he's really missing is that KO power and the ability to end a fight.
MW: Wilson Gouvei 6-2 in the UFC he's a very good ground fighter. Black belt in Jiu Jitsui and thats clearly his strong point. Needs to work more on his standup and he would be an awesome fighter. People seem to know his name more than fighters who are much better than him thouhg. He too holds no wins over great fighters and both times he's fought above average figthers hes lost. He has a fight coming up saturday against Nate Marquardt which i personally think Nate's gonna win because both these guys have great ground game but Nate's standup is much better. But a win for Gouveia could be really good news for him. Hopefully he'll be given a few fights against decent opponents in the future.
LHW: Luiz Cane, now don't get me wrong he IS a good fighter but not as good as everyone seems to think he is. He has only lost once and it was by DQ so i don't really count that but the guy lacks experience for people to call him top 5 in his division ESPECIALLY LHW only had 3 fights in the ufc his only loss coming in his first fight to James Irvin. He beat Jason lambert and a Sokoujou who was winning the fight until he gased. The guy has pretty good BJJ and is an exciting fighter. I'd like to see him have a re-match with James irvin and i would love to see him fight Brandon Vera.
HW: Heath Herring. He's one of the most entertaining HW fighters i've ever seen. His 3 fights with Nogueira were awesome but the guy just isn't a great fighter. The only significant wins he has are over Kongo and Evan tanner. He has alot of experience but will always be a gatekeeper in the HW division. Some fights i'd like to see are vs. Cain velazquez and maybe even a rematch with cheick kongo.
