How would Mousasi do in UFC’s LHW division?

[TheSpider]

Mousasi destroyed recent LHW top contender Thiago Santos (who gave Jones all he could handle) in 4 minutes. He’s a former Strikeforce LHW champ and as well rounded as it gets. He has also competed at HW submitting the likes of Mark Hunt in 1 minute.

I think he could be champ. Jan would be a tough fight but I see the well rounded Moose winning.

What do you think?

 

[Ares Black]

He would definitely be a top contender.

Moose would beat prime fedor according to some of you

This is Sherdog so Mousasi could unify the MW, LHW and HW titles and then go and beat Tyson Fury in boxing.

LHW is a mess right now so I'd say Moose is champ material.


The UFC is too busy marketing washed up retreads like Jan, Santos, Reyes, Smith, Glover, etc. while burying elite prospects like Ankalaev on undercards against randoms.

 

[Dirge]

He is far too inconsistent to ever be champ.

How do you think Moose would do in UFC’s LHW division?

Probably a top guy, could see him beating some high ranked guys like Reyes but idk if I see him becoming champ. He, imo, doesn’t seem to be as great as he once was which is normal he’s been about for a while.

Moose fights at the level of the person he's fighting. That's why he barely wins fights most of the time, no matter who he's against. He generally does what he needs to win and no more.

As for UFC LH division, I'd like to see him win Bellator's LH division first.

In fact winning Bellator's LH division might be tougher than winning UFC's

Reyes is one of the worst matchups in the division for him imo.

This is Sherdog so Mousasi sucks sH!t because he is in Bellator.

There are two sides to Sherdog.

Santos also got destroyed by David freakin' Branch. He was in a slump at MW and has never been consistent. Mousasi got destroyed by Hall in his first fight. His fans say this was a fluke and shouldn't be considered. So maybe we should say the same about Santos... Basing any predictions off one fight is always dangerous.

Quit being so modest. I heard he could beat them all in one night. Highly underrated.

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

He will be a top contender, but I really dont think that He would be champion

 

[Mammothman]

I honestly think Jan smash him at this point

Mark Hunt was in a terrible losing streak when Mousasi beat him. Sean McCorkle submitted him even faster and MW Melvin Manhoef KO'd him within seconds. He was showing up for paycheck, like Tank Abbott did later in his career. Context matters. Mousasi didn't beat any ranked HWs.

 

[mkt]

Reyes is one of the worst matchups in the division for him imo.

People thinking he could walk out and KO Reyes are forgetting Mousasi had a draw with a no-chin, past-his-prime Keith Jardine.

This is Sherdog so Mousasi could unify the MW, LHW and HW titles and then go and beat Tyson Fury in boxing.

Then he and Brandon Vera could have an all-time GOAT fight.
