Hilarious comment. Mousasi stands no chance. I mean were talking about the same guy who went to a decision with Jardine. The guy is a bum.
At least we know he could make the cut.

The people on the Mousasi bandwagon are still clinging to the old Pride era bias against UFC.
To say that Mousasi is somehow clearly better than Sonnen, Okami, Hendo, Franklin, Forrest, etc is just crazy. There's just no evidence of that.
If he came into the UFC as a MW he would have to pay his dues big time. Win at least 3 fights if not more to get a shot at Anderson. No way he deserves any fast track to the title.
I think some of you guys are severely underestimating how good Mousasi actually is.

Wow. You're not even close. Not even in the same fuckin galaxy. As another member said earlier, Gegard is 32-3-2 in his career with finishes over Jacare (upkick but still), Babalu, Hunt, Manhoef, Kang and Sokoudjou. Far from a "bum."
Also, anybody who watched that fight with Jardine knows that Mousasi won that fight by absolutely beating the shit out of him. As for fighting AS, sure, he would be the underdog but so would nearly every one of the 7 billion people on planet earth right now.
I'm still a huge Mousasi fan but he needs to beat a good wrestler before he earns a shot, I think of him as a poor mans Anderson, still would like to see him fight Vitor like they were supposed to in the past.

Mousasi is no joke and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he came to the UFC and became a top 3 in which ever weight class he chose

He needs to be at 185 anyways. Hes always looked a little flabby and said that " he wasnt really training before" if thats true and he is actually training now by pro mma fighting standards he should continue to lean out. If i were to guess he only cuts 10-15 pounds to make 205. Hes has tons of potential and id love to see him matched up with Costa once he transitions to the UFC. That would be a great technical standup fight. And a slow build to really show where Gegard is... i think Costa is a tough fight for anyone right now.
All i know is that the top of 205 division for the most part are beastly wrestlers. If Keith Jardine can take you down with that much ease... the top guys wont have a problem. Id pick Gegard to lose to Evans, Davis, Bader, Hendo, Machida, Gustafson, Bones pretty handily. Top guys at 185 have more strikers than wrestlers besides Yushin..

Dude. First of all, don't call anyone a bum, especially when you are sitting miles away anonymously, secondly, he's done far more than you, probably in many different fields. Whereas you type insults from your mothers basement. Thirdly, did you do any more research than looking at his wiki page?
Kingsmasher is gone , we don't need anyone trying to fill his place.
Gegard is much better suited at 185 imo. He's a solid fighter with submission skills and good stand-up. Im interested for the simole fact that its a new face in the Middleweight division

In all seriousness, I'm in no way underestimating how good Mousasi is. He hits hard and smooth, he's got a legit submission game, and despite his appearance he's got crazy grip including a mean guillotine.
I do think he's good enough for a UFC shot, but the problem's that his gameplans tend to be rudimentary, leaving a huge hole in his main weakness - wrestling. I think Evans, Davis, Machida, and Gustafsson would run respective trains on him, and hell, I'd give Bader even odds to boot.
185s a little different both due to the size difference and the lower number of skilled wrestlers there, but I think he still gets taken by a healthy Ronny Markes.
In other words, I'd want to see significant strides in his gameplanning and wrestling before offering him a shot against Anderson right away. It's possible, right, I was actually surprised to see he's only 27, but he might also be in that mold of BJJ strikers who put too much confidence in their submissions.
