He deffinately needs to train on the ground more. He was just exposed, like I said everyone had him tabbed as the next big thing and alot of people were saying if he beat Machida he should be in line for a title shot.
Obviously he wasn't anywhere near Machida's class so IMO he is overrated. I can't believe after the first round those guys wouldn't tell him to try to keep it standing. He was deffinately a victim of bad gameplanning.
It's interesting to note, those guys may not be the best cornermen in the world as they also didn't warn Sonnen about leaving that arm out ther for Filho after the first round of their fight. Food for thought.

randy couture, not because he isnt good
but because everyone thinks he is God. a year ago nobody here would have given Randy a chance against Fedor, and he beats up an gimp and a talented kid with no championship experience and now he is going to pwn Fedor.

Houston had 2 impressive victories imo He knocked out Jardine and also a very good boxer in less than 2 minutes. Then you have cro cop who went 1-2 (even though most thought he would be champ by now). and also rashad who hypes HIMSELF up and never delivers, it's gotta be cro cop or rashad imo.

I still think GSP is a little bit overrated but since he's not on the list I went with Rashad. I can't understand for the life of me why Crocop is on this list.

Dude... have you heard of CroCop before or were you exposed to him through the UFC?

GSP is overrated. He is quite obviously a great fighter and dominated hughes but people just make him out to be like he is a MMA god who constantly overrate his striking capabilities.
Crocop is definitely underrated. He gets beat by gonzaga, whom I think is a good fighter and then Kongo and automatically he is shit and will get mauled in the division.

If anything Crocop is disappointing this year, but certainly not overrated; he's earned the praise he gets.

The reason that CroCop was put in this category was because he was coming from PRIDE as the #2 ranked HW in the world. He had 2 losses to HW's not even in the top 10. Some may see that as ovverrated and some may just see it as disapointing. That is why I believe he is in both categories. This is a poll to share your "opinion".
I dont get the whole GSP being overrated thing though.... he is the definition of a well rounded MMA fighter who simply got caught against Serra. He had a win over Koscheck even outwrestling him and then mopped the floor with Hughes.
Out of the choices presented I would go with Alexander or Evans and that is my "opinion".
