Gegard Mousasi on Loss to Jacare: "I Wasn't In The Mood For Fighting."

I just read the title, and damn do I want this in the excuse book. Where are the shoopfiends?
 
That's too bad. Mousasi won't ever reach his full potential, very unfortunate.
 
People tend to forget that Mousasi has been around a long time. He's already had a full career. Despite him still being young, it's normal for him to start to get burned out. Too bad he didn't get into the UFC until late in his career. He's probably headed for a Cro Cop-like run due to lack of motivation.
 
He is a really brilliant fighter at times but he has a lot of weakness under unified rules and seems apathetic to fix them. This interview doesn't surprise me.

Too passive for three rounds, fighters who seem less talented can steal rounds based on grit and aggression. His cardio doesn't make him a five round specialist either.

In theory he should beat Dan on Sarurday easily but I have a weird feeling about it. What if Dan is aggressive (but not too aggressive) and gives Mousasi little chances at counter striking while actually pressuring him close? I could see ways he could win an ugly fight.
 
Damn that's like 5 different excuses.

Mousasi's Brazilian game strong as fuck.

None of those were factors in his latest losses. The King Mo loss which I'm assuming you are referring to is more of an anomaly. Unified rules only truly hurt him in the King Mo loss. He's very skilled but has some major things to tweak if he wants to become a top 5 fighter or champion. I think at the worst he'll stick around the top 10 for a long time. I think he will beat Hendo.
