I thought Lyoto Machida was also very underrated.

Most overrated and underrated is BJ Penn.

How so? I always thought if he had better cardio endurance that he would have been one of the greatest fighters of all time.

I think Chuck Liddell is overrated... fun to watch him swing.. but overrated IMO.
Chael Sonnen underrated (to an extent)

How so? Nate Diaz has never been a serious title contender with a 21-13 record. He’s good at taking a beating. For the amount of love he gets(and he gets plenty)vs what he accomplished, he is overrated.

He could have. His story is kinda unique. His highs were insanely high and his lows were lower than you could imagine for a guy so good.
If the question is "overrated and underrated" then im not sure who fits better.

Overrated: Lyoto Machida. His karate style was cool at the time but he always lost the big fights and would immediately get another big fight or title shot
Underrated: Carlos Condit. Dude was a killer in his prime and beat Nick Diaz when Diaz was supposed to be the man to come in and beat GSP. He also beat Lawler for the belt IMO but judges didn’t see it that way
For a long time I said BJ penn is the most overrated fighter of all time. I was challenged in another fight thread to really look at his body of work and I have since changed my stance
Whoever says the iceman can GTFO. Most don’t realize he was like 37 when he knocked out Tito for the ufc belt so he was past his prime and still dropping elite fighters. Go back and look at his pride and early ufc days, guy was a beast. He’s who got me into ufc

I think that says more about Tito than it does the ice man...

Overrated: Ronda Rousey
Underrated: Charles Oliveira. I know he's lost two of his last three but he was on an incredible streak there for a while in a stacked division (beat Ferguson, Chandler, Poirier, and Gaethje). Most finishes in UFC history and the only person to fight in 4 title fights and never be the favorite. Never was the fan favorite either. Didn't get the respect from Vegas or the fans, kind of the definition of underrated.

Overrated: Cormier. He was the biggest beneficiary to the Jon Jones scandals. If not for that, he would have never had the amount of title fights that he did.

I agree and I am a Nate diaz fan. Entertaining guy but not anywhere near being great.
Underrated is a hard one
