| Who do you think is the most underrated fighter today? Someone that should be ranked higher then they are. | |

| I'm going with Nick Diaz. I know people think he is good but I think we should be talking about him as maybe the #2 WW in the world and a challenger to GSP. He might get a little more respect when he finally settles down in 1 WC. | |

I don't how you consider him #2 WW when he hasn't fought there in years. Beating two B level MWs doesn't warrant this either. | |

I don't how you consider him #2 WW when he hasn't fought there in years. Beating two B level MWs doesn't warrant this either. The same way I can consider Diego Sanchez the #3 LW in the world even though he hasn't beat a top 10 LW. The entire body of work and also how I think they are compared to the rest of the division. I don't agree with some of the dec losses he has. I think he could beat anyone a WW, I think he is that good. | |

| Luis Cane. Well, he is certainly underhyped for a guy who never lost outside of a dq. I consider him undefeated kind of like Fedor. | |

| Babalu... Since having a bitter end to his UFC days has been on a roll.
Thiago Silva... You lose to Machida and suddenly you're dog crap?
Filho... Yeah he has mental issues and didn't show up... once!
Maynard... Who does he have to beat to get respect?... Edgar? | |

But I agree about the others, except I thought Filho was overrated but IMO he dropped way too far. IMO he is somewhere between where he was rated before and where he is rated now. | |

Glad you caught the sarcasm... And yet Frankie gets "far more" respect in rankings and in general... | |

I agree somewhat... Wins over Franca, Sherk, Fisher, Griffin and Jim Miller are impressive. Maynard has only been given Jim Miller, Clementi and of course Edgar. It just amazes me how much more respect Edgar gets even though he lost head to head to Maynard where he was thoroughly dominated in 2 rounds. And I really don't have a reason to believe if they fought today the result would be any different. It's not like Edgar has shown some amazing new facet to his game that would over power Maynard today... | |

| I agree, Maynard would beat Frankie again today. He is a tough son of a bitch and he doesn't get enough credit. Good call LTFG. | |

| Leading up to the fight with Gray, Frankie was doing this "True life" show for MTV which lead all the way up and after the fight, he also had his Wedding like a couple days after, maybe it was a distraction, I'd love to see a rematch personally | |

IMO he is somewhere between where he was rated before and where he is rated now. How many people think Jardine is going to beat Thiago? Everyone thinks he is overrated for no real reason. He lost to Machida. | |

| I think it is a tough fight, Jardine is a tough mother fucker. But I think Thiago pulls it out, I think he will catch him eventually and get the TKO. | |

| Brock Larson is so underrated that he doesn't get noticed on a "Who is the most underrated fighter" thread.
I win. | |
