Solid drug testing .......and mousasi comes in shape / focused. Easy money.
USADA rumble didnt want to fight middleweight mousasi when DC went down......gegard was begging for it ( they were discussing an interim title even though moose mw) and Johnson was refreshingly honest about it and took alot of shit for it.
On an even playing field- I see a mousasi nemkov final in a tourny. If it's not fair then hell if I know.
In watching Gegards post presser after last win( and he came in " soft" in physical appearance in that fight), I saw for the first time ( and hes earned it) a mousasi pushing for the easier fight in John Salter( who is the #1 contender-- as compared to Coker automatically looking for moose to go after double champ status v nemkov like an hour later). I might be looking too much into it but as good as moose still is , he's a clean championed 205er who makes the walk at around 209, 210 at lhw. Hes a fucking boss but I wouldnt blame him for pause if hes going to be fighting really good fighters that are going to have 18-20 pounds on him at this stage of his career. The amazing part he looks the role of a young 35 after 18 years of fighting in the cage.
It doesnt even make sense-
