Is Mousasi the fighter who has fought in the most different countries?

[Barteh]

Mousasi has fought in 13 different countries.

- The Netherlands
- Finland
- Russia
- Ireland
- Japan
- England
- Canada
- USA
- Sweden
- Brazil
- Germany
- Philippines
- Northern Ireland

Even the legendary Travis Fulton has only fought in 12 different countries. I checked some fighters I thought to be likely candidates and they weren't even really close. Vovchanchyn (7), Overeem (7) and Oleinik (7) are barely halfway there.

Does this make Mousasi the ultimate journeyman?

He is the second best middleweight of all time after Romero

Didn't know that. I've found another great candidate who would be (more) worthy of that nickname.

13 fights, has fought in 9 countries. Manhoef has 11, so it seems like it's quite common for Dutch fighters.

Fun question. I'm definitely not putting in the work to find answers, but thanks to those who do.

To be fair, I don’t think most rapper will know what a vagabond is.

13 isn't that many.

Here's some random fighters:

Jack Hermansson
1. England
2. Jordan
3. US
4. Italiy
5. Germany
6. Brazil
7. Mexico
8. Denmark
9. United Arab Emirates
And he never even fought professionally near his home (Sweden & Norway) - which would've made it 11.

Stefan Struve
1. Netherlands
2. US
3. Germany
4. Finland
5. Russia
6. England
7. Ukraine
8. South Korea
9. Brazil
10. Crezh republic

That being said, some veterans who you think might've been all over have never been in MMA fights in more than 6 nations. Overeem for example only has 6: Netherlands, Japan, Russia, Germany, England US, China

Arlovski only has: Russia, US, Singapore, Canada, England, Belarus, Brazil

 

[Beherit]

So third best middleweight?

shut up duck, u ducked my AV bet like no one did before.

Third best middleweight of all time is between silva and adesanya, adesanya beat silva, so I got izzy as the third and silva as 4th.

To be fair, I don’t think most rapper will know what a vagabond is.

It will be some white, suburban kid with rich parents. He will hear it once in history class and get it tattood on his face during a xanax blackout.

How'd you confirm? Sherdog fight fighter doesn't show the countries on his profile and he has no wikipedia page?
