Take a look at the most underrated UFC fighters of all time to have stepped inside the octagon and know just why they land in this list.
With World Class MMA professional locking horns inside the octagon, it is bound to be a natural fact that not all fighters get the same recognition as their peers.
In this list we are going to look at the top five of the most underrated UFC Fighters who have been deprived of their status.
List of the Most Underrated UFC Fighters of All Time
5. T.J.Dillashaw
Apart from his controversies and suspensions, T.J.Dillashaw has been not less than a wizard in the welterweight division.
Having beaten the likes of much stronger opponents like Joe Soto, Raphael Assunçaao and John Lineker, T.J.Dillashaw is undoubtedly one of the most underrated fighters in the current UFC roster.
4. Raphael Assuncao
Most of Raphael Assuncao’s achievements have been largely undervalued by the media and the masses. However, this does not take away his talent and his hard-work that he has displayed inside the octagon.
Assuncao is one of those fighters who have risen from the ranks of the featherweight division into the welterweight.
3. Clay Guida
A valiant lightweight fighter, who knew both about the art of submission and also the art of knockout. Clay Guida has registered some major victories against his name in the UFC and was one of the best during his days of prime.
Not only that, his attacking prowess can be measure by the number of ‘Fight of the Night’ titles that he has one.
2. Darren Elkins
One of the most underrate fighters in the featherweight division. In the notable victories against Mirsad Bektic and Michael Johnson, Elkins displayed just why his Brazilian jiu0jitsu background is so lethal.
Not only that Elkins had the core to survive some of the hardest knocks that any fighter could endure inside the octagon.
1. Chris Weidman
After suffering lately from one of the most devastating injuries any fighter has suffered inside the octagon, Chris Weidman still shows the passion to make a strong bounce back.
Moreover, the primary reason why Weidman ranks in this list is because, despite holding the championship belt on four occasions and defending it successfully thrice, fans still do not seem to attach much appreciation against his name.
