10 UFC Stars Who Got Too Cocky

10. Chael Sonnen

When starting a conversation about cocky loudmouths in the UFC, Chael Sonnen's name cropping up is pretty much a given, right?

Whether he's threatening to 'whoop' a fan's ass at a UFC Fan Expo or warning rivals that it is 'hazardous to one's health' when choosing to fight him, Sonnen has never wanted for reassurance.

But, with that high degree of belief in his own hype, 'The Bad Guy' was always going to leave himself open to humiliation when he couldn't follow up on his diatribes.

One glaring example of this would be when Sonnen was heading into his title showdown with UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jon Jones.

Sonnen boasted about how Jones had never been in the Octagon with a 'gangster' and even went as far as to call himself 'the best MMA wrestler in the world', poking at Jones for 'saying no' to their first potential match-up, throughout the build-up.

Needless to say, Sonnen was taken down on multiple occasions, before being pummeled into a TKO loss inside the first round at UFC 159.

Bragging about your amateur wrestling World Championship Silver Medal prior to getting your ass thrown around a ring for just under a round, isn't exactly a strong look.
