    Your hatred for Couture is getting to the point of making you sound almost retarted. So losing to a bigger fighter who happens to be the 2nd greatest Heavyweight of all time in Nogueira makes him the most overatted ever ? Well Cro Cop got submitted by Nogueira does this mean hes the 2nd most overatted ever ? Everything people say about Couture is true his resume can NOT be even argued agianst. 5 time UFC Champion, 7 wins over UFC Champions. His resume at Heavyweight gets overlooked which is BS alot of those wins vs Pedro Rizzo 2x, Tim Sylvia and Gabriel Gonzaga where agianst guys with significant size advantages over him. Sure he has 2 horrific KO loses at 205 but I think he proved how capable he was by trashing Vitor Belfort, Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz at that weight 3 of the greatest to ever compete in that weight. Randy Couture = Mixed Martial Arts greatness.

    And then there's 10 loses. Nog is bigger by 10 lbs. You can hardly consider that "bigger". Nog isn't the same, granted neither is Couture. His resume can't be argued against. It's set in stone, you can't compare him to neither Fedor NOR Nogueira. The gap is just too wide. It always pissed me off when Couture or Nog and even Fedor were compared side by side when their records clearly show the gap.
    Also, Couture almost never really had to work his way to get a title shot.

    I think Franklin is a good choice for the list. He's popular and all that, but break it down and he's not all that great....he's got a glass chin and look at the ease with which an elite fighter like Anderson Silva took him apart twice.

    Well Silva is so far ahead of everyone else in the division it's not really a comparison. Franklin did really well against Henderson, W.Silva. Granted getting KOed by Vitor is not all that great but Vitor is a tank with VERY powerful hands.

    List of fighters whose glass chins have been exposed by Anderson Silva:
    Chris Leben
    Dan Henderson (rocked hard by Silva)
    Rich Franklin
    Nate Marquardt
    James Irvin

    Franklin has only ever been stopped by Machida, A. Silva and Vitor. He doesn't have a class chin.

    The inclusion of Bisping and Franklin is ridiculous.

    Bisping is arguably the most hated man in the sport and gets zero respect by the vast majority of MMA fans so I'd say he's underrated if anything. And to say Franklin's lack of skill was exposed by Henderson is absurd given how close their fight was. He got caught early by Vitor, which happens, but the only person to have really outclassed him is Anderson Silva, who has shown to be a class apart from just about everyone he's fought in recent years.

    It's sarcasm. My point is that Anderson Silva is such a good striker that he can KO anyone and it doesn't mean they have a glass chin. Some people think that if it is possible that you can be KOd it means you have a glass chin. Anderson has hurt many a fighter with a great chin.
