Mousasi is the logical choice. The only other half decent LHW fighter without a fight is Davis although I guess Vitor, Dan and Rashad are all fighting pretty soon so could potentially take that fight as well.
Must have been a fairly significant injury to have to pull out of a fight over 4 months away.
He's claiming a "back injury" which has been his injury of note since the Evans fight so one of two things happened.
1. Nog is yellow and cherry picking fights, he has no intention of competing and for all he knows he'll be cut if he loses so he's getting those massive checks for two more years.
2. The UFC is being shady they've locked up the big threats to Gustaf in other fights and they just used Nog to defraud Phil Davis, and Daniel Cormier.
Lol ok then, pointless fight anyway as Nog had 0 chance. Really want Gus vs DC but I know the UFC wont do that even though they should. Maybe give him the winner of Chael-Rashad?
I think there are plenty of people who want to fight Gus, I just think that most of them don't deserve it yet. A lot of the top 10 is booked up or just fought. They might have to reach for a last minute replacement.
For everyone talking shit about Rampage being Bellator main event. I can guaranty you the UFC would have no problem booking Rampage vs Gus for a main event if Rampage would have stayed(he left by choice).
Reading on the thread and i must agree, Phil Davis makes the most sense. Noone would object if Gus got a title shot after beating him and Phil already holds a W over him. Why not?
