Recently, there’s been some talk in MMA circles that Kimbo Slice might be overrated, and there’s good reason for this opinion. That’s not to say that Slice isn’t a good fighter. There are a lot of people in the MMA, and those who are training at schools like MMA Richmond for the day when they are ready to compete in those circles, who are very good fighters. However, being a good fighter isn’t quite the same thing as whether or not you are overrated as a fighter.
Most MMA fans, if they are serious fans and not casual ones, think that Slice is overrated because he struggled through a couple of fights that he should have easily won. They were not that difficult, but instead of performing well on them he didn’t do that good and the referee still found in his favor by stopping the fight.
Slice also went up against an MMA fighter who was much older than him and who was a great fighter in his time but had gotten slow. That’s hardly a fair right, and the most obvious reason for the ‘overrated’ comments.
