Looking for suggestions. I'll post a poll later with all of the suggestions on it.

My opinion:
Tim Sylvia
Marvin Eastman
Fabiano Scherner (Highly touted BJJ Blackbelt with 0-2 UFC record)
Mike Van Arsdale (granted, he had some tough fights, but I thought he'd be a lot better)

most overrated ufc fighters imo are

Renato 'babalu' Sobral
Vitor Belfort
Brandon Vera - i think hes good for a new comer, but he hasnt fought any A level fighter , yet ppl think he can take CHuck/Sylvia or AA
Frank Mir
Forrest Griffin

BJ Penn -haha no im kidding I dont like the cabbage patch kid look alike but he has skills


On a serious note
Tim Sylvia comes to mind hes just a lurch
Chris Leben

Honerable Mention
Arlovski better win his next fight (He just seems like he should dominate)or im gonna maybe put him in this category
Tito Ortiz - Cant seem to win the big one, i.e. Coutre and Liddell dominated him if hed of put up a fight with them I wouldnt put him in honrable mention....Call me crazy but id like to see a Rashad Evans Tito Fight or Babalu vs Tito

How can Big Tim be put on this page? He's the champ. I think all current champs should have amnesty from the most over rated page. I would have to say the most over rated UFC fighter would be Chris Leben. He just isn't very well rouned and I think that if Silva hadn't beat up on him, then Rich Franklin would have.

- Stephan Bonnar
- Mike Van Arsdale
- Vitor Belfort
- Chris Leben
- Forrest Griffin
- Brandon Vera
- Tito Ortiz

There's others...but those popped into my head almost instantly.

if silvia wasn't a sucky bumb, he'd be exempt from "overrated" threads!:D

Frank Mir, for a former heavyweight champion and an extremely skilled submission specialist, should be considered overrated. Besides his submissions, he doesn't have much going for him. He's not an over-the-top, balls out trainer that pushes himself to the next level, he's gassed in previous fights, and his stand-up is ugly as hell to watch. If I knew the right word to use besides luck, I'd say that's the only reason Mir became heavyweight champion in the first place.
