Mousasi’s performance vs Weidman was impressive

[Franklin U.]

There was a memorable scramble in the second round where Chris had Gegard from the back before moose grabbed his ankle, Chris grabbed the wrist and they rolled a few times in quick succession. Sad that fight was ruined by The Chris' lack of heart.

That definitely was an awesome 20 seconds of chain grappling. I remember it well.

I’ve been a loyal Mousasi fan for years .... I realize by Sherdog logic once you lose a few fights you suck lol ...... as a fan Mousasi has disappointed me a few times , when he lacks urgency in a few fights .... but I don’t need a fighter to be super man for me to be fan ..... I’ve never not rooted for Mousasi in a fight ( Hendo fight I was torn ) and my loyalty will remain.....WAR Mousasi

This is " fair and reasonable " vernacular.
When Gegard Mousasi FINALLY had a self reflection moment agsinst pre USADA jacare 2(" in making their presence known"), he built a team around him like every elite has and for my money , became the best middleweight in the world.......but that's me.
As long as a fight with Israel would take place inside the next year( which I know it wont), Gegard could win OR lose this fight.

Because Israel is UFC champ and has evolved a great deal, hed be favored in Vegas but itd be in the -160, -170 range.
Styles make fights and I'll take a focused moose at +140, +150.
If I'm wrong....I'm wrong.

I’d Take Mousasi at those odds as well

So your logic is that Machida just started taking illegal shit after Usada came ..... so Machida was clean his entire career and started taking stuff when Usada showed up ...not plausible.......hmmm then Machida goes to bellator and he’s ripped again.....everyone in their camp where Brazilian juiceheads and I’m a fan of most of them including Machida .... but it is what it is

Is he ripped again tho?

 

[BFoe]

A banned substance... which was in an over the counter weight loss suplement. And said occurrence was in 2016, the Moose fight was 2014 but you Moosefans always say it was exactly in 2014 that Machida juiced. Where's your logic at?

We’re calling DHEA a “weight loss supplement”?

agree. iv never been a fan of a fighter then decided i dont like them because they lost.

although jordan mein beating up thiago alves for a round then deciding to do a summersault in round 2 resulting in an immediate finish did rub me the wrong way. one of the weirdest scenarios iv seen

i cant find the body kick gif but it was right after.....

 

[r-harper-1]

This isn’t even a weigh in pic ....Usada goes away and he’s glistening again .....looked way softer under Usada

 

[fastone]

What year is this?

 

[chinarice]

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

I am responding to trolls. If you wanna have legit talks about Weidman, I am game.

Are you one of 15 people on Sherdog who can have a legitimate discussion about Weidman? I'm doubting it.

 

[Huligani]

Moose is either extremely overrated or underrated on here. Never in between. Right now it's overrated, the next time he loses he'll go back to being called a can.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

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

The most amazing thing to me is how utterly ineffectual Weidman's grappling was. He got takedowns. He won round 1. But he never did anything with any of it. And ya, he did even less in the first half of the second round and seemed really gassed and on his way to getting an ass beating. Seemed.

No contraversy here.

Factually inaccurate. When 2 people disagree over something (e.g. it's controversial), one of them doesn't unilaterally get to say there's no controversy.

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.

Only truths.

Weidman made his career beating bums and some top fighters a way past their primes and/or elders (Machida, Anderson). When he fought top competition with the same age, got KTFO in all of them, except vs Gastelum; but this is a joke, once Gastelum is midget from WW - and, just to remember, Weidman almost got KTFO also.

So... He was a bum then, he is a bum now. No news. Talked a lot of trash, saying he would beat Anderson's records, surpass him, bla bla bla bla bla, and NEVER got close to any of it. Sad ending for him, almost a Chael Sonnen.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

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

It was an incredible performance.

Mousasi didn't do enough. He had some success in that fight (won a round or two) but was too passive.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I don't see Munoz fans saying he was "juiced"

Muñoz does not have fans

We’re calling DHEA a “weight loss supplement”?

Machida did not take DHEA. Machida took a weight loss supplement which contained 7-keto-DHEA. Unlike DHEA, 7-keto-DHEA is not converted to steroid hormones such as androgen and estrogen. Taking 7-keto-DHEA by mouth or applying it to the skin does not increase the level of steroid hormones in the blood. It has no anabolic effects.

 

[Jean-Claude_Bloodsport]

Moussasi is good but his striking is incredibly overrated. He got beat up by a 155 pound russian and lost recently to a tomato can. Izzy would pick him apart and have him panic wrestling.

LOL if that is "ripped" then I must be on the juice.

 

[MMACroatia]

Not every time a person wrestle its panic situation.... but it definitely happens .....

It happens
But to call a wrestler a panic wrestler is nonsense.What else is he supposed to do than wrestle?

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

I favor the Moose over Izzy

no you don't Toner, you're just upset that israel toyed with and took it easy on your idol silva.

In 2020 it would be nice if he wasn’t just a wrestler and would be well rounded enough to do other shit .... but in certain style matches if it’s intelligent for a fighter to wrestle... then 100% they should wrestle....but once a fight hits the ground I’d appreciate them attempting to damage or sub their opponent
