Is 'cocky' the new term for 'gassing and getting KOed' because if it is then Overeem's career is just full of cockiness.

We leanred back in Pride in '05 and '06 that if a fighter could stay in the fight for 10 min, Overrated Gas-Areem would gas out, and could be knocked out or submitted.

No, it was nothing like Chael Sonnen. Reem had very little for Bigfoot and he would've been knocked out no matter what he did. He never dominated Bigfoot like Sonnen dominated Anderson.

It's just excuses and trying to make Overeem look somewhat respectable. "yeah he woulda won if only he weren't so cocky". Absolute BS. He lost brutally and decisively and never had Bigfoot in any serious trouble.
