I want to fight Gegard Mousasi in April on CBS. That's what I want to do. As far as how do I think that fight would go, I'll win! I'm confident in that. His kickboxing is alright, his boxing is alright and he's not going to outwrestle me and he ain't going to submit me (laughing).
I this fight happened tomorrow Mousasi would definately win! But I think that if this fight happened further down the road when Mo has a number of fights on his belt it would be another story!
While that's kind of true, talking generates hype, which improves his public visibility, which makes him worth more to a promotion thus increasing his income potential. As long as he can back it up... and I genuinely think that HE believes he can.
Yeah if talking smack makes him a good marketing tool, think about what his entrance dancers do for him! He has his own personal harrum dancing for him in front of everyone!
This could actually gfet him in the cage with Mousasi. I mean Carwin and Cain were supposed to fight for the number one contender spot until Carwin started running his mouth about wanting to fight Lesnar. The hype built up and then Carwin/Cain was scrapped for Carwin/Lesnar. It could work for Mo as well.
I wouldnt consider any of those guys beating Mousasi as knocking him off. All four of those dudes have faced a higher level of competition and been very successful. Mousasi has fought one decent lightheavyweight in Babalu and one well known can in Sokky. His middleweight record is pretty solid with wins against Jacare, Manhoef, Kang, and Lombard. Comparitively speaking though, all of those other guys have much more impressive records at lhw, even Silva with a win over a top five guy like Griffin (he was top five before they fought) and I would rank Irvin much higher then Sokky.
I also think Hendo would give Mousasi a run for his money. It would probably go along the lines of Hendo vs Franklin. Or even Hendo landing his big Right. If Hendo was to lose it'd be in the 3rd.
You're kidding right? Sokky is a can. The dude just lost by TKO to Minowa, a win over Sokky doesnt further anyone's reputation. The guy had a couple big KO's in Pride and has been horrible ever since then. Im guessing that Mousasi beating Sokky didnt impress Hendo or any other top ten fighter in the world.
When I was a child I was massaged by a gypsy woman, now sometimes I just know things...and I steal and conduct shady business practices, im pretty sure all of these things are related to the gypsy woman rub down.
Yeah if Mo wants a legit chance of facing Mousasi and beating him he needs to get some more matches in!
