The reason i said the Serra/Lytle fight was overrated was due to the way that the commentators went on about it & some Australian mma mags went on about it.

I agree with Huerta/Garcia and Sherk/Franca being over-rated.
The people that enjoyed the Huerta/Garcia enjoyed watching Huerta beat on a guy.
And the it's mostly the Sherk fans that seemed to have enjoyed Sherk/Franca. Yes Sherk passed Hermes' guard and mounted him several times, but he never used the mount to finish the fight. Sherk seemed comfortable riding out a decision. The mount is considered the most advantageous position for offense, and Sherk never fully committed to GNP or any submission attempts. So what are you left with? A LNP decision win.
An underrated fight? I don't see it mentioned much, but I really enjoyed watching Karo and Nick go at it. That fight had some great transitions on the ground.

Most over-rated? Any BJ Penn Victory that didn't happen in the first 2.5 years he fought.
Most under-rated? Jardine over Forrest and Jardine over Liddell. Might add Jardine over Bonnar but the refs missed on that one. Keith "Techno Viking" Jardine gets no love for anything he does.

I show the love, monkey style is the most exciting there is!

Excellent call on the Hideo Tokoro vs. Ivan Menjivar fight! One of the best fights I have seen, in any organisation, anywhere. Thumbs up!

One fight I thought was underrated for awhile is Rampage/Hendo....I really liked that fight and I never hear anyone talking about it being a great fight.

One that hasn't been mentioned.
Nick Diaz/Robbie Lawler
I really enjoyed this fight. Exciting throughout the whole thing, and then at the very end it had an amazing finish. All of the Diaz fights are exciting it seems like. They are two very remarkable fighters.
WAR DIAZ!!!

War Jardine!
Another under-rated fight was Nickels v Bonnar. Primarily because it didn't last long, but there was some sweet groundwork in that fight.
