Near miss between two aircraft. Experimental aircraft overflew the C172 and descended in front of the C172 and cut it off in the traffic pattern. C172 was forced to descend below pattern altitude to avoid being hit by other aircraft.
An Instructor pilot flying into a non towered airport reported a NMAC with another aircraft in the VFR traffic pattern.
