That whole Alpha male thing. Mix testosterone and fighting ability.

MMA guys are so cocky....Especially the teenage one's who workout at the local LA Fitness or 24 hr fitness and think they are the toughest dudes...

Bowe did beat some good fighters after Holyfield though, guys like Donald and Hide, both of whom were skilled. But yeah, Holyfield is the shining...
