The year 2008 was an interesting year in the fighting world. We saw the rise and fall of a few organizations, and the UFC is still the king of the sport. And let’s not forget we have a new heavyweight champion in the UFC. So here is my question for you guys. Who do you think is the most overrated fighter in the world, based on what we have seen this year?

Here are a bunch:

1. Kimbo Slice

2. Brock Lesnar

3. Tim Sylvia

4. Heath Herring

5. Forrest Griffin

6. Mirko Crocop

7. Michael Bisping

Now, the list is by no way complete, and you can see a lot of guys who are actually good fighters. But, good doesn’t mean great. In my opinion, Kimbo is still at the top of the list. What do you think?

For a guy who was supposed to be destroying Ken Shamrock, facing a new opponent may need a bit of an adjustment, but Kimbo was definitely not ready for Seth Petruzellij. Not only Kimbo lost, he got embarrassed. He lost in 14 seconds to a never has been. Seth is a good fighter, but he is not Andrei Arlovski or Fedor, so losing to him in 14 seconds shows why MMA fans are complaining about the hype around Kimbo.

But Kimbo’s reputation as a humble guy who loves MMA is also in jeoprady after he and his folks asked for more money to fight against Seth. Didn’t he say to ESPN folks that he is not after money but he loves MMA? What happened Kimbo? I guess he knows that Elite XC won’t be able to last forever so he is trying to earn as much money as he can. He will still make big money after this fight. Elite XC will probably try to hand Ken to him and use him as a stepping stone for Kimbo to get back. But this is all a sham, and Kimbo should either train harder or look for another line of work. He is too old for this sport, and a couple of bad losses can really end his career. He can beat tomato cans, but can he get good enough to challenge the top guys?
