Is Overeem the anti-Wilder?

[Phodopus]

Wilder always says he needs to be perfect for 2 seconds while his opponents need to be perfect the whole fight.

Overeem seems to be the exact opposite: he always has to be perfect or he is KO'd pretty much..

He had this fight won.. lost with 4 sec remaining, must suck for him especially with that lip

Thats Chael Sonnen you're looking for.
But The Reem qualifies for that also , The Reem can beat anybody and lose to anybody.

Back in 2010 full of gear you could get knocked out just from looking at him.

I feel like Overeem has matured and rounded out his overall game a little too late in his career, after taking massive amounts of damage over 20 years.

Had he stuck with a solid team (instead of journeying from camp to camp) and not spent his prime fighting outside UFC (which didn’t sharpen his skills, but rather instilled in him an overblown sense of self-confidence), he could have been champion in the last 10 years.

Instead, he is doing the best he can with what he has (a wealth of experience but a ton of damage). Often, it is enough to get the job done. However, it is not consistently enough to withstand the HW onslaught, and build a meaningful streak.

Yeah.

Wilder always believes in himself ... no matter what, but Overeem is the opposite.
