That sucks. I hope Mousasi comes to the UFC soon. I honestly believe Mousasi can beat Jon Bones Jones in a stand up match, assuming he doesn't get caught up in Jones' wrestling.

Mousasi in the UFC would make for some fireworks against so many fighters at LHW.. or MW..

They need to get their hands on him and put him against some of their guys like Glover, Gustoffson, and Rashad..

I agree he has no TDD and Jones can take down pretty much everyone in the division. But sometimes, even with no takedown defense, a great grappler can be knocked out. It'll be an upset, definitely... but I have hopes for Mousasi
I guess that's what you call blind faith haha

Is Jardine the biggest name Gegard has fought? I don't follow japanese MMA and don't recognize many of his opponents from the last couple years.

Jardine and King Mo. The worst part is he couldn't beat either simply because he couldn't defend a takedown to save his soul.

He's beatin Jacare, Denis Kang, Sobral, Sokoudju, Mark Hunt, Melvin Manhoef, Jake O, Brian, and many others. He's got some credible wins for sure.

He's also beaten Hector Lombard.

Mousasi has also beaten Lombard in Pride. Lombard may have been raw but so was Mousasi being very young at that time.

I think Mousasi would of been signed by the UFC when he was the Dream champion if he had a marketing persona. Mousasi is a fighter who shows his skills in a MMA fight. His deameanour as a person is very relaxed, we dont ever see him hyped for a fight or pumped winning a fight. He is very similiar to Fedor where we get a smile if he wins.

Hopefully we see his wrestling skills improving which he showed against Ovince. He improved that area at an amazing rate which we saw him dominate Ovince in grappling, who was supposed to out wrestle Mousasi himself.
He has K1 level striking already so who knows how great he can become.
