Personally speaking, I believe that BJ Penn is underrated. That guy has some mad skills and doesn't get the credit he deserves!!

BJ Penn's one of my favorite fighters. But I wouldnt exactly consider him underrated. I mean he's still considered the greatest lightweight of all time by most people. I know there's a lot of BJ Penn haters out there, but thats honestly just a very vocal minority.
Even when you talk to people that despise BJ Penn, they can't deny his talent.
He's a great fighter and is one of the best to enter the octagon, and that's exactly the recognition he receives.... Definitely not underrated at all imo.

overrated - Randy Couture, I wouldn't be a big mma fan but am slowly getting into it,
18-10 and he's in the hall of fame... the guy lost every second or third fight he had...

True, but what ya also got to consider is he has fought more title fights than any other UFC fighter, in fact the majority of his fights have been title fights, in both the LHW and HW divisions.

You brought up an excellent point!

Lesner is the most over rated and that Bobby Lashley is right behind him. Reason = they jumped on the bandwagon with no skills and we have seen what happens to both when they face a real fighter. their careers will be short lived in the mma world.

Lesnar has had 6 fights, 3 won by knockout, 1 by submission, 1 by decision, and 1 loss.
How is that overrated considering 3 wins were current or former world champions?
