Mousasi should fight Anderson Silva

Would anyone else like to add to the list of fights we all want to truly see Anderson take, but will never happen?

Rest easy though....The super fight of the century may be around the corner...

Silva vs Bisping!

Silva's UFC career has been filled with mediocre opponents, often grapplers who can't take him down and can't strike.

Mousasi has already a better career than all the guys I named.

Sure they have both fought mediocre competition, but one of them has no excellent wins and one of them has many. Anderson may have fought Leben, Cote etc. but he also fought Vitor, Chael, Forrest, Okami, Marquardt, Hendo and Franklin. Gregard has no wins even close to that calibur. Anderson has many.

I was saying that Silva has took a lot of mediocre fights in the UFC. A Mousasi match , even if Mousasi has not fought in the UFC, would not be a problem.


Lol. Gegard has terrible takedown defense. Sonnen would clown him for every second of the fight, until Gegard hit a submission. IF Gegard hit a submission. Wiedman would do the same, except he wouldn't get subbed.

King Mo is better than both Sonnen and Weidman at wrestling. He won against Mousasi by lay and pray but I would not bet on him in a rematch.

You do realize that logic cannot work or else you make it impossible for MMA to have any reasonable standings?

Fighters only fight 2 or 3 times a year.

So while a lot can change in 5 years; the fact is in a fighters career, 5 years isn't that long ago.

Point in case: If we went by your logic:
-Andersons wins over Hendo, Franklin, Marquardt don't mean anything cause they all happened in either 08 or 07
-GSP's win over Jon Fitch doesn't mean anything cause it happened in 08
-JDS win over Werdum doesn't mean anything cause it happened in 08
-Frank Mir's win over Big Nog doesn't mean anything cause it happened in 08

I could go on and on

Have Anderson fight Mark Hunt, and see how that works out for him...


But let me guess....Anderson goes Matrix bra? Hunt would be done inside 1 minute?

Sure, more interesting fight than Gregard. Im a big Hunt fan, and he actually has wins inside the UFC. Im not saying i think Anderson is some untouchable god, im saying thinking Gregard deserves a shot over Weidman, Bisping, etc is ridiculous and an example of fanboyism at its best.
 
GoodOleWrasslin said:
No. Who has he beaten to deserve a shot at Anderson. None of those wins you named are impressive outside of Lombard. He fought to a draw with Jardine (yes i know the point deduction but still he shouldn't have even been in a competitive fight).

He needs to prove himself first, he needs to prove he can even hang with UFC level competition before he gets a shot at Anderson. How many guys have been hyped outside the UFC and then failed to preform?

Needs to prove himself.lol Needs to prove he can hang with ufc competition.lol funny brah

What you said makes no sense, whatsoever.

Rankings are based on what you have done lately, something Mousasi did five years ago (that is a long time, I don’t know you can claim otherwise with a straight face) has no relevance whatsoever on the current list. However, it's a good win when you look back at his career as a whole. It's not that hard to understand.

If Tito Ortiz or Randy Couture came back once more they wouldn’t be considered top contenders, because they ruled their divisions a decade ago (plenty of big wins), no, they would have to earn their way back to the top by beating fighters who are currently ranked. However, again, looking back their career as whole... career-defining wins would still be...you guessed it...career-defining.

Silva doesn't want to fight anyone that presents a real challenge. So this fight will never happen. This 10 fight contract is a joke, he refuses to fight anyone at MW, he wont fight Jones, he wants to fight WW's and retiring LHWs.

Hate to interrupt your tantrum, but adults are talking. TS is right. Mousasi vs. Anderson would be an excellent fight. I enjoy grappling, but I prefer striking. So for me, there's nothing like seeing 2 masters going at it. Both have beautiful technique and are nearly impossible to finish. I'm pretty sure Anderson would win, but I'm very curious to find out whether he can finish Mousasi.

In a sense, they don't. Werdum is a much better striker now, and JDS is much more experienced. I would take JDS in a rematch, but it could go differently.

Mir boxed Nog up and KOed him in their 1st fight. In the 2nd, you can tell Nog had worked on his boxing, because it was he who looked like the superior striker.

With Hendo vs. Anderson and Fitch vs. GSP, I think all 4 fighters use the same styles and have roughly the same skills they did in the 1st fight, so I don't see the rematches going any differently.

anderson doesn't have as much power as heavyweights like mark hunt that gegard fought and beat without taking any damage.

anderson would get tooled in an k1 fight against the k1 heavyweight champ, but gegard beat him. his striking is forreal.

Do you think that might be because Gegard took Hunt down and submitted him? You're making it sound like he stood with Hunt and ate shots for 3 rounds. If that was the case, then of course Anderson couldn't KO him. But that's not what happened.

As for the striking contest, Overeem will soon prove to us that you can be a K1 champ and still get laid out in MMA.

I've never seen a nuttrider of your caliber on Sherdog just blind to facts amazing

By Superfight I meant the non title fights that Silva is getting against Bonnar and Irvin.

A fight with GSP would be huge. But I would still favor the Mousasi match up.

Irvin was years ago, but let's look at the facts. Anderson volunteered to fight at LHW on a card that was injury plagued, because the UFC needed a few guys to step in as replacements. Dana called 4 LHWs and offered them a LHW fight, on short notice, against Anderson Silva. They all refused. Irvin was the 5th guy Dana called, and he accepted the fight. Anderson did not volunteer to fight Irvin, because he had no clue who his opponent would be when he volunteered.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that 1 of the guys who refused the opportunity was Rashad Evans. You know, the Rashad Evans who is a former champ and perennial top 5 contender in that LHW shark tank where Silva's terrified to swim.
 
silva doesn't fight guys that aren't at his rank unless they're an easy win.

this sort of post is disingenuous at best; you and others make it sound like lhw's are scared of silva. maybe it'd be more accurate to say that the time frame was way too short and most lhw's wouldn't be able to cut to 205.
