Mousasi’s performance vs Weidman was impressive

[chinarice]

Gegard Mousasi destroyed Chris Weidman. After panic wrestling for a round and a half, Weidman gassed out in the second.

Mousasi destroyed him in the standup and got up almost immediately after being taken down.

No contraversy here. Moose made Weidman quit. Chris wanted to cheat his way into a DQ win but it backfired on him.

Something Silva couldn't do in 2 tries was get the ref to fuck up and lead to a TKO win for him.

Silva needed shittier refs I guess. He had one of the worst in Herb so you'd think he would have been golden.

Makes you really wonder just how good Silva actually was.

Possibly would lose to Moose, Romero, Rockhold, clearly lost twice to Weidman, Jacare, Hermansson, Cannonier....

Silva may have been a fringe top10 if he entered the UFC in like 2014/5. Crazy!

Chris should have been let go after that fight not Mousasi.

How about Machida's performance against Moose?
(1st fight)

This was Moose's first fight back after a lay off for knee surgery.

He was 38yrs old
Its was his 17th year as a professional
His 38th fight

It does not erase his run in the ufc

Get real

He looked really good in that fight. So did Mousasi for a guy who had the knee problems he was having. ACL surgery in 2012, fought Latifi with it still injured in 2013, repaired a 2nd time, and fought Machida 10 months later.


A lot of people here should go back and watch that fight. See how close it actually was.

 

[bigmacbub]

Ah yes another swing from Mooses nuts thread.
MoOsE wOuLd bEaT iZzy hurr durr hurr duurrrr

 

[theTKDguy]

weidman lost a ton of respect for that shit he tried to pull.

When Mousasi is on, he is fucking ON. Sometimes he shows up uninspired and lays a stinker against grapplers, but man p4p he might be a top 10 CLEAN ATG

Lol no

Edit: oh CLEAN, we are speculating then, maybe

The first round was telling as Chris won round but only because of 3-4 TDs where Gegard actually gave him his neck and just popped up ( basically what u said).

2nd round was the first time in Chris s career he couldnt keep another fighter at the end of his punches. Gegard technical stand up and chin just walked Chris down. Chris even got one monster counter in which Mousasi just ate like it was nothing. The turning point of that fight was the perfectly placed liver shot to Xhris ( he even looked to big Dan for a " nut mercy shot" but Dan looked back at him like he was an alien). Everyone saw what happened after that.

You got any proof of this bold claim?

Machida looked the same vs Munoz but I don't see Munoz fans saying he was "juiced". You know why he looked so shredded? Because he was cutting from LHW. Munoz was his 1st MW fight, Moose was 2nd. He had to cut a lot for each - thus the shredded physique. Later he dieted down and the cut wasn't as impactful.

Munoz has fans?

Mousasi is a nightmare for Izzy

 

[Franklin U.]

Chris should have been let go after that fight not Mousasi.

* mousasi wasnt let go.only fighter in promotion (ufc) history to walk away with a 5 fight murder streak under belt.

I know what u meant-

" possibly " .... I agree.

Had it 2-2 going into 5th and machida won 5th. A poor decision on Gegards part to fight Lyoto as his 1st fight back at 185 and coming off back to back tears.
He made chop meat of latifi s face on one leg. We clearly saw discomfort when Gegard jumped on ilirs back and had to hop back off immediately. To Latifi s credit, he had to cut a shit ton of weight cause teammate had a boo boo

Moose is the goat

How about Machida's performance against Moose?
(1st fight)

He was walked down for 25 and out struck 66-35. Machida did win fight on crisp counters and sig strikes. To hear commentary that night was such bullshit, though.
They both took home 50k for fight of night.

Hes certainly one of them.No doubt.

Nobody wants to hear this though. They only care about the outcome. That fight was extremely close.

It was excellent. I’m a big Mousasi fan, but there are some styles he doesn’t deal well with, and Machida is an example. Izzy is another, so I have to lean towards Izzy slightly on that one. But Moose could give Izzy big trouble as well. Would love to see it.
