I don't agree with the inclusion of Franklin and Le - but the others - most definitely! http://insidefights.com/2010/01/22/top-5-most-overrated-mixed-martial-arts-stars/
depends what they mean by overrated!! who ever rated kimbo slice in the first place! cung le and franklin are silly picks,bisping's not overrated because no one gives him his due anyway,the guy got sparked out by a p4p great thats fighting man...people need to watch that evans fight again! it was a very close contest and evans was done at the end of round 3!! he was fooked... if it had been a 5 round contest bisping would have took it! he showed heart in coming back and taking out a world class operator in kang,hope he does well....
I'm fine with Bisping's inclusion. He lost to Hamill, Evans and Henderson. His only decent win of not is a mid carder in Chris Leben. Franklin is a ridiculous inclusion, though.
I agree about Rich Franklin being overrated. But putting him on a list with the incredibly overhyped Cung Le and Kimbo Slice gives the wrong impression.
I don't see how Franklin is overrated. Guida is an exciting contender. He is what he is. I can accept the other choices.
I dunno why you would put Franklin on any such list. He fought a tough fight against Hendo.. and could have won on some scorecards. Cung Le should definitely be on the list.. cause he hasn't fought no one. I agree with Guida. Guy has no offense.
Franklin should not even be close to the top 5. In fact I really don't see him on any list like that at all.
Putting Franklin there is definitely out of line. I would NOT say it's my top but these always jump out: Couture. Especially when people start saying, we'll never know who's better Fedor or Couture. Oh ya... we know. There's no ****ing comparison. I'll give brock twice the chance I'd give Couture. Vera used to be hugely overrated especially after Mir win. That always tickled a nerve. Even though Slice is "overrated" but he's overrated by the people who barely know MMA. So this never bothered me. Not to mentioned he SEEMS like a cool dude(which, knowing his background, I think is genuine) and I'll always support a good person. Often Fedor is overrated even by knowledgeable fans. Clearly without a defeat and a VERY rare occasion of real trouble it's hard to argue against even the most blind fanatics. Machida, wtf ever. He's like the new BJJ, he went under the radar for so long that no one wonder how to beat his ***** style. Once he gets a loss or two he'll go down hill faster than Liddell. Almost certainly Shogun will be the first to knock his **** drinking head off, given Shogun stays healthy.
Randy couture was the most overrated fighter ever. This was proved by the way Nog schooled him. ALOT of people were arguing that he would beat Fedor. Nobody has been unjustly overrated more then Couture
Guida is a bit like Duddy people talk about him because he is in exciting fights but really no one gives them a chance against the good fighters.
