This list goes for all MMA fighters from UFC to K1.
10. Kimbo Slice: After a few internet videos of him punching out a few street hoods, and his first “street” loss to ex cop Sean Gannon, Kimbo burst onto the MMA scene back in 2007. His first fight was against Ray Mercer, he then quickly jumped into the pro’s fighting guys like Bo Cantrell and Tank Abbot. He lost his first pro fight to Seth Petruzelli at 14 seconds of the first round. After bouncing around looking for a new contract, Kimbo signed with the UFC to appear on The Ultimate Fighter season 10, where he lost via TKO by eventual winner Roy Nelson. Season 11 was marketed using Kimbo’s image more then ever. Kimbo fought heavyhanded Houston Alexander in his UFC debut, winning by a lackluster decision. He is set to face fellow TUF Castmate and power puncher Matt “Meathead” Mitrione.
9. Michael Bisping: Bisping was huge in England, winning all his fights, until he appeared on Season 3 of the Ultimate Fighter. He was able to secure the UFC contract by a TKO victory against Josh Haynes. Through out his UFC career he fought the likes of Matt Hamill, Rashad Evans, and Dan Henderson. Bisping tends to be a cocky fighter, and in my eyes, puts on lackluster fights.
8. Chris Leben: Not much I can say other then, why does the UFC keep him around?
7. Renato Sobral: Babalu may be a good fighter, but his personality inside the ring just fails to impress. In his final UFC fight against David Heath, Babalu held the choke after referee stoppage, finally releasing after Heath passed out. “he (Heath) has to learn respect. He deserved that. He called me ‘motherfucker’.
6. Chael Sonnen. After his decision win against Nate Marquardt, Sonnen was slated for a UFC Middleweight title shot, but unable to due to injury. His career in MMA has been somewhat of a bore. Most fights have gone straight to decision, only a handful has seen some kind of stoppage.
5. Brock Lesnar: Three pro fights in the UFC, one loss, one win, one decision victory, and he is up for a title shot. After his KO victory against Randy Couture, Lesnar had the honor of defending against the man he lost to, Frank Mir. Mir lost, Lesnar won, Mir fought again, Lesnar got sick. Mir is fighting again, Lesnar hasn’t fought well over a year. Lesnar is billed as the best heavyweight out there.
4. Ken Shamrock: I had one old legend on my underrated fighters, so I need one legend on my overrated. Ken is it.
3. Anderson Silva: Sought to be the #1 pound for pound fighter ever. He’s got power, but he’s never really fought a true striker. His 4 losses have come by the hands of three great submission specialist. His wins have been against all but lacking fighters. Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin, and Patrick Cote are exceptions. Anderson’s love for the fans is also lacking, as he’s been criticized for not acknowledging his North American fanbase.
2. Georges St. Pierre: I’ve never liked him, his fights are more the boring, and his spandex shorts are annoying. Alleged Greasing disputes have also put him on the list.
1. Dana White: All right he may not be a fighter but he is so damn overrated it’s not even funny. Dana might have said he helped change MMA, but he never once stepped inside that octagon and put on a great fight. He’s criticized everyone and anyone who is not associated with the UFC or the Zuffa brand. He lack of respect for fighters, has led to many of his A Listers leaving for other organizations. And now his possible counter-show against Strikeforce’s April 17th show just adds to his douchebaggery.
