Most Overrated Fighters (Blame IC for This)

[Next Big Thing]

Does a guy have to beat a UFC "brand name" to be considered the best in his weight class? Guys like Fedor, Wanderlei, Big Nog and Hendo come to mind.

Wanderlei and Fedor dominated in pride, but if you look at the majority of their opponents you have to admit it's not like the level of competition was equivalent to what GSP has faced over his career.

BUT, I think you can look at the way a guy wins those fights along with the consistency and technique displayed can still allow a guy to be considered one of the best. I believe Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez are good examples today of guys who deserve to be considered among the best in their weight class because of the manner in which they win and their consistency even though they don't fight in the UFC.

So do guys like Fedor and Wandy deserve the praise they get, or are they overrated and glorified can crushers?
