A bum is the champ of MW division i don't get it?Life is easier when you're fighting bums.
As a big mousasi fan, I feel like he dropped the ball. He could have been fighting for the title if he had made a statement towards bisping
LMAO--- maybe add a zero to show and Mousasi very smart with sponsors- very experienced ---- lol, he'll probably equal or make more than your " 40/40" fighters on his sponsor cabbage.
I love sherdog (actually, I really do)
Now he will get all the hate by Conor fanboys

“I was a small fish in the UFC. I’m a big fish in Bellator. That’s why I want to do my part to grow with Bellator. There’s a connection that I don’t have with UFC. It’s a company, like a factory. With Bellator, it’s more that I’m part of the family, and I’m doing the best I can to grow with the family.”
Gegard Mousasi not happy about Yoel Romero vs Robert Whittaker interim title fight[/paste:font]
The disconnection between Mousasi and UFC shouldn’t come as a surprise. Just hours after announcing his contract signing with Bellator earlier this year, the former Strikeforce champion took direct aim at UFC and blasted its partnership with Reebok. It wasn’t the first time Mousasi publicly challenged UFC and probably won’t be the last.
“I was treated well in the UFC because I got the opportunity to get where I am now,” Mousasi said. “But, if I was to criticize them, I think the fairness of payment or the fairness of getting a title shot, it’s too much about the name of the fighter and who they feel they can build as a star as opposed to who is the best fighter. There are issues. Before the belt I’d have to fight probably Luke Rockhold, I would have fought Yoel Romero because (Robert) Whittaker is next. It would have made my road so difficult to get to the top. Some get an easy road.
“They give the fighters they like matchups suited for them so they can keep winning. They’ll probably do (Conor) McGregor vs. Nate Diaz 3. Why? Because McGregor has a good shot of winning. They’re not going to make a fight with Khabib (Nurmagomedov) or Tony (Ferguson) because it’s bad for the promotion. Those things, you feel as a fighter. I’m not making things up. It’s frustrating. I had to take the hard road. That’s what I feel.”
I agree with Moose. The UFC has screwed over the entire MW division by letting Bisping duck top contenders so that he can defend against 46 year old washed up Hendo and a retired WW.
Thoughts?
you didnt get the point, right ?Conor and Gegard are my 2 favourite fighters and between you and me, you're the one hating.
That is why he TKO him in R1 in rematch right?You were ko'd by Uriah hall and that is why you are a small fish to the UFC.
the new owners never would have allowed fighters to make free money off their backs. They are in the entertainment world and in that world no product placement is ever free. Fact is the fighter's never had any entitlement to free sponsorship money using the ufc branded distribution methods and their intellectual property, but the old regime was kind enough to allow them to. That would never, ever, ever happen in any entertainment company such as WME.Fucking Reebok is a big part of everyone leaving and I'm convinced that they only did it to streamline thd look in preparation for a sale knowing it would hurt the company long term.
Allowing free sponsorship would make fighters allowed to make more, and cost nothing out of pocket for the new owners. Honestly think several of the guys that left might have stayed if they weren't tied to the pathetic Reebok payout.
Styles make fights my friend and a BIG REMINDER that Whitaker did not fight the same jacare that Mousasi did...
If they fought a month from now:
Mousasi -180
Whitaker + 155
Mousasi wouldnt be favored. For what? Beating Vitor and barely beating a diminished Weidman? Whittaker just beat Romero and Jacare, two better wins than any of Mousasi's UFC wins.
Whittaker is the best MW in the world and he will soon have that undisputed title.
