I miss Mousasi: At his peak he was probably the best MW ever

I've been a fan of Mousasi ever since he KO'd Jacare with that upkick in the DREAM grand prix, but I don't think he was or he'll ever be the best MW ever. He was in his physical prime when he joined the UFC and legit lost to Machida and Jacare. I think he might be champ, if he got a title shot against Bisping, but he won't have the same level of title defense as Anderson or Izzy

Came in to say this.

He definitely wasn't at his best against Lyoto after 2 torn ACL's and 1 year layoff. He was injured against Jacare too
 
He lacked strength, but his technique and talent was unrivalled. If he accepted the offer ufc wanted to give him and continued in the ufc, now he would probably be considered by most as the MW GOAT.
The 31 year old mousasi who embarrassed weidman along with the rockhold who won UFC title are the only 2 versions of 185 who" could" possibly beat prime Anderson (31- 36.... what a run).
