Yeah really? the same Chael that got owned by Renato Sobral who Mousasi destroyed in less then a minute? Why are you basing your opinion about someone like they will come out with the same strategy in every fight.

yea, really, the same Chael who has improved immensely since then and has EARNED his spot in the top 5.
whereas Gayguard is just there cuz ppl think his skills put him there, but he doesnt beat any top guys, hell he barely ever faces top guys.
He lost to unranked Mo who is still unranked, and rightfully so.
When Chael lost to Horn or Sobral, even tho it was along time ago, those guys were ranked and top guys then too.
Gayguard fought Sobral at LHW..... and he isnt ranked either....
but plz, tell me, whats his golden strategy vs Chael?? Cuz if its anything other than ending up on his back, it wont work.
Gayguard couldnt stop Chaels TDs, i would bet my account on that. His wrestling is less than medicore.

Let's explore these top 5. There are three MWs, so nothing there to make him a top LHW. Jake Obrien is 2-2 at LHW with wins over names like Hess and valtonen, he's not exactly a top level guy. Sobral is the only guy there worth talking about, but a win over Babalu shouldn't guarantee you a top 10 spot at LHW. |

How exactly did he improve immensely ? not a belt holder of any kind and lost to an injured Silva,One dimensional Chael is not even on the same level as Mousasi.Why don't you bet your account on Mousasi never winning any sort of UFC belt MW or LHW?

Mousasi is a MW who moved up to LHW and fights at HW also,He just recently started fighting at LHW between a 3 year span.Akihiro Gono got dominated in Round 1 and cought a lucky Armbar at Pride Bushido 12, so at Pride Bushido 13 Mousasi took it out on Lombard.This was in 2006 when Anderson Silva was getting cought in Flying Scissor Heel Hooks Mousasi was winning in Pride.After beating Santos,Kang at Dream, Manhoef,and Souza all as a MW he decided to move to LHW division and his first fight vs Mark Hunt who had a 65 pounds advantage over him.So in 7 fights as a LHW with wins over 2 Heavyweights he's 6 out 7 with an SF belt and a Dream Belt Mousasi is so over rated.

Well remember that Mousasi pretty much gained weight and decided that it would be best for his health to move up. He did and so far has done well at lightheavyweight. However, his game plan against King Mo still proved that he isn't as dominant as he thought he was so if he wants to prove he is truely dominant, he needs to not only take the Strikeforce belt back, but avenge his loss to King Mo!

Mousassi is one of the most overrated fighters. In one of his biggest fights of his life he gassed in the 2nd round and put up little to no fight. The guy isn't an elite fighter...at least not yet.
Just as Mo took him down with ease, Sonnen would too. And I despise Sonnen.

Gegard Mousasi Captures DREAM LHW Title...
