How would Mousasi do in UFC’s LHW division?

That's why it was a draw and not a win, but still, he didn't finish the corpse of Jardine. The very next fight Luke Rockhold (not the world's best boxer) KO'd Jardine in the first round. People who think Mousasi has an almost guaranteed chance of KO-ing someone like Reyes are delusional.

I like that. Jar-DONE is right, because Keith was way past his prime and any half-decent LHW or MW would've beat him at that point. Many of them would've finished him, but Mousasi didn't.
 
In his prime he could challenge.

He’s now a MW, and a champion.

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?

What do I think? I think it's sad he isn't in the UFC anymore. It's also kinda funny how he is ranked #9 on Sherdog MW rankings when he would probably a majority of the guys ranked ahead of him.

He fought at LHW before and I think he would do just fine, maybe even beating Jan.
 
sherdog lol
where you can go 47-7-2 in 17 years but you're still just an over-rated can to anyone who's been following the sport for a full week now

He has 47 wins, he finished 36 of them. In 56 fights, 14 have gone to the judges. How is that "Barely wins fights" ...?

That's over SO MANY YEARS. Jeezus, look at what he's done lately.

Like against Lima—he bides his time, cautiously, until he got the situation he wanted to seal a 5-round decision.

He outpointed Machida just barely, not pushing the action at all. Not even looking like there was any urgency.

He lost to Lovato not because Lovato is better, but because Moose didn't get a finish.

Shlemenko, another decision.

He beat up Rory, another much smaller fighter and finished him yes. And Carvalho.

But overall, and LATELY, he's pretty cautious and fights to not lose. His whole Bellator career has been pretty uneventful, and fighters he should completely dominate he makes it look like the skill levels are closer than they are.
 
It has less to do with him and more to do with how bad current LHW is. Even a Mousasi who would lose against the top of MW would be a top contender or even champ at current LHW.
 
Loses to Lovato Jr, beats a shopworn Machida by a split decision and still people are on here are claiming he'd be not only the MW UFC champion but the LHW champion to boot? You know what would be a good start, beating an elite MW or LHW in Bellator, something he's yet to do, but because he beats WWs he's clearly the best MW and LHW going around. Not sure what will happen first, the usual Mousasi fanboys jumping to his defense to claim Lima'd be a beast at MW and that Shlemenko's criminally underrated or that Rory's not washed and would be a star fighting up a weight class, or the next thread about how Mousasi would be the UFC HW champ too. The simple answer is he wouldn't be champion in either division and but for Lovato Jr's unfortunate medical circumstances Mousasi wouldn't be a champion in Bellator either.

Oh so it's "lately" ...because your post said...

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

You're a fucking retard.
 
Hed be a top 5 mw forsure never seen him at lh
 
Top 5-10 probably. He's champ material for sure, but doesn't always clock in. For every brilliant fight he's in, he'll have one where nothing really clicks for him.

You know, there are reasons why no one likes you, either here or IRL, and you've got to confront those reasons if you ever want things to change for you for the better.

Highly doubt that mousasi probably the most experience in both worlds of fighting in ring and cage are great records still. How many fighters can do what mousasi can other than khabib to pick a easy one there barely a handful. Let me answer the question styles make fights. Leveraging moose than Reyes since moose has more crucial fights important for their record.
 
I swear moose either fucked yall sherdoggers or he let u fuck him. They false hype behind this guy is hilarious.
