Career wise or skill wise?

Doesn't really matter, he's definitely farther ahead at 24 than Lyoto or Silva. But Shogun at 24 was already a pretty big Pride star.

Either way I think he'd beat Silva and Lyoto. I wouldn't want to see Shogun vs Mousasi cause I love both fighters so much and I think one of them would get KTFO.

I would cry if Mousasi fought Shogun. And I defiantly do not see a decision or a submission from either of them

I think the real question is... are Shogun's stomps better than Mousasi's upkicks?? They're both so awesome!

I think between Mousasi and Shogun, those are the most dangerous four legs in all of MMA.

Yeah its too bad they won't be battling each other any time soon!

OK!

I can't really see him winning the titel at 205 in the UFC right now, but in 2 maybe 3 years he will have a great chance of doing so! I rank him number 4 right now overall at 205 in the World with Silva included.

Skill wise!!!
For example Lyoto fought his first proffesional fight with the age of 24. Mousasi already has how many fights 23-24? Thats tremendous for such a young age.

Yeah the age you start fighting at has a large impact on how you will fight down the road! Mousasi is good right now because he started fighting at an early age! Shogun was pretty good at the age of 24 as well! Machida started fighting when he was 24 and as a result his style is a bit more cautious! It's all in when you start!

I think the most important thing is when you start training! All of these guys wich are called the best in the Sport right now started training at a very very young age. I am a true believer that you only get to the top when you start very early in youre life. Of course fight experience is also very important but not as much as every day training from a very young age. You can still become a great average fighter, but not an Machida, Mousasi, Silva or Co.

He reminds me so much of Fedor the way he fights, his attitude. PLEASE stop wasting your time with clowns like Goodridge and get to the freaking UFC. SO many great match ups there for Gegard.

Not gonna happen. He is with M-1 Global so he won't be in the UFC for the same reasons that Fedor wont.
