RE: Most overrated active mixed martial artist is....
Well Bellator does have some good talent that doesn't get the credit they deserve just because of their platform.You can't tell me Lima & Chandler wouldn't make it to the top 5 in their divisions in the UFC.As for chris, I don't think it's mental.It's just more of he needs to work on his defense & overall striking.The Gegard fight was the biggest example...once he started stuffing his takedowns, chris was getting lit up & he just became desperate to get the fight down to the mat.
100% AGREE! Bellator has a small pool of decent talent, but a LOT of terrible one offs, shot fighters, and purely mediocre guys and gals. You can dress up a show any way you like but on most Friday's they are showing dressed up regional level productions. First IMHO Lima won the fight on Saturday. As for Chandler he is a BEAST!!! UFC = U FIGHT CHEAP for MANY fighters, especially those not STILL in back channel bed with D WHITE. . Some "promoters /agents DOMINATE while having their company registered in their sister/s name/s Google it). And while I don't want to say too much it is MENTAL but yes Chris DOES have to work on his striking and while the current coach/es that are meshing with so many from team IA / SL etc. may not be working for him....
I wasn't able to watch Rory's fight but yeah doesn't look too good when the new champ is busted up & literally has to be carried outta the ring.But totally agree as well, Bellator has a lot of cans & ufc rejects along with fighters still going way past retirement.I hope one day we can see chandler, lima & pat curran in the ufc...I was a big Pat curran fan but then he fell off hard outta nowhere.It'd be cool to see him in contention again.
I just can't figure Pat out....
