Mousasi interested in fights with Shogun, Machida, and Gustafsson

Looking forward to seeing him fight some top strikers in the ufc.

I think he will do well.

 

[Oleg Salenko]

Mousasi is da man.

 

[MrKilroyT]

I would be very interested in seeing those fights as well.

 

[Redwing22]

He will get an easier fight when he finally makes his debut.

If Machida beats Henderson then Machida/Mousasi would be the fight to make since Gus is "supposed" to have a lock for the next title shot.

If Hendo beats Machida then Gus vs Mousasi would be the fight to make since Hendo's streak would be too good to be denied/delayed and his career is winding down.

Some might say Mousasi wouldn't deserve it but considering the division and that Glover is possibly one fight away from a title shot with a win over Page it's not out of the ordinary.

That said, it's good that he isn't looking past Mike Kyle.

 

[Bolshevik***]

i think he'd have a decent chance of beating all three, but i wouldn't favor him in any of those fights.

 

[mccallievols]

motivated mousasi takes all 3

 

[apoth]

I think Shogun would be a great barometer to see if Mousasi can make a run at the title.

 

[SimonNova]

if he wins vs Kyle in 2 days, all 3 matchups make sense.

I think he will end up fighting Shogun, and Gus will fight Machida after he tooled Hendo.

id slightly favor him against shogun, maybe -125
machida i give a good edge, maybe +250
gus id give a strong edge to, like +350, but i see it being very competitive

 

[Travisray]

thread should read mousasi Interested in becoming 0-3.

 

[Jaracz]

When Mousasi's on, he's really fucking good. He has a tendency to fight at his opponent's level, but you can't deny his talent.

Any of those fights would be good.

 

[BruhBruh]

I'd like to see him vs Vera for his first fight, that would be a serious scrap.

 

[Jinx_AA]

He'd beat machida!.... He out strikes all... He just can't defend takedowns ...

 

[Jose Aldo Nova]

Oh, NOW he decides to come to the UFC? Three years too late for my money ...

 

[PRHandGrenade]

I don't know how people think if Machida beats Hendo that Mousasi and Macida would make since? Machida will be coming off a win over Shogun and top contender Henderson. I think he will be in line for a title shot that he was supposed to already have before. Mousasi recently lost to King Mo and had a draw with Keith Jardine. I'd like to see him fight someone like Forrest first, then a wrestler like Bader or Davis and then if he wins both give him a top contender like Machida or Gus in a title eliminator.

 

[KilledByDeath]

I would have much rather seen him fight Hendo.
IMO the jardine fight really sealed my frame of thought on the guy.
He was literally brought in to get smashed and made him look predictable and average.

 

[slavomir]

I hope UFC doesnt pair Gegard with Rashad as his first UFC.
The fight with Shogun would be a gass fest. Shogun trying to clinch and eventually tripping him and that would leave both of them gased after first round.
Gus fight would be interesting. I would certainly be interested how would Mousasi solve the reach puzzle.
With Machida I am not sure. I think Machida will confuse Gerard with trips, kicks and jabs and would win unanimous decision.

They shouldn't feed Jones' potential challengers to each other. Give him Shogun or someone lower down the ladder, not Machida or Gus since they should fight Jones soon.
