    Couldnt agree with that....his sheer size makes him a difficult man to beat and he has had some decent wins....
    Not sure if your name is anything to do with Vitor Belfort but he would probably be my choice as the most overated fighter....a few flashy wins over decent level opponents yes but he lost the biggest fights he had,apart from a freakishly lucky win over couture......to me he is one of these who if he dont get you out of their within a round he will struggle....very overated in my opinion.

    This might be an unpopular pick, but I think Rich Franklin.

    Randy Couture was the most overrated, it's calmed down some though.

    Gonzaga after the Cro fight was the most overrated EVER! People were saying he could beat Fedor.

    Frank Mir is extremely overrated right now.

    before his loss to Petruzelli it was Kimbo, hands down

    nowadays, since Mir beat Nog, I think it may just very well be him

    before Couture lost to Lesnar, the ATG may have been Couture

    personally, I think Royce Gracie was the most over-rated fighter in mma history

    Jesus was not over rated, he resurrected himself, that impressive.

    You think Rampage is overrated, but disagree that Lidell was overrated. Rampage put him to sleep 2x :dead.....you make no sense
