And to be honest with you, I agree with that. Not calling him a bum or Houston Alexander II, but he's definitely overrated imo.
A proven, good fighter and everything. Just overrated.
I mean, he's only got BJ, Sherk, Stevenson and Kenflo ranked above him here at FF.
There are a lot of guys in the UFC that would whoop him imo. And yeah, taking nothing away from him, but Guida would be the favorite for me in the rematch as well.
I haven't waited 'til after the fight. I'm calling him overrated right now.
Is that OK?

It's definitely OK to call Huerta overrated. I mean I'm a fan of his, but even I would admit he's overrated a bit. And yeah, both fighters are more talented overall than Alexander. I was just saying I could see a scenario where so many people have jumped on Florian's bandwagon after his last couple wins(like they did with Alexander after his first two wins in the UFC) and then tearing their ACLs and breaking their ankles because they can't jump off his bandwagon fast enough if he loses.
