I've been thinking about potential challengers for Ryan Bader in Bellator after his recent win. A name that immediately came to mind was Gegard Mousasi.
Gegard already competed at HW and LHW, assuming he fairs well against the Bellator MW challengers, I think moving up to LHW and challenging Bader would be the biggest fight Bellator could make.
One could argue Mousasi is the best MW on the planet right now.
Bader winning both the LHW and HW Bellator belts makes it hard to argue he is not amongst the best in his divisions right now.
What do you guys think about this matchup?
Could Gegard Mousasi be a three weight division champion?
I think this it would be the biggest fight in Bellator history.
 
Could do it, but then again, Bellator's lhw division is absolutely abysmal atm.

He could fight McGeary, but McGeary needs another decent win or 2 to warrant it imo.
 
That be hilarious if gegard just holds every belt in bellator. That would have to make bellators stock go down a lot.
 
Bader would grapple fuck the shit out of Mousasi. And if Mousasi fought like he did against Storm, Bader would probably knock him out.
 
Bader is better than moose everywhere. I know people like to make out that Moose is some sort of MW Goat even though he's never won a belt in the big leagues and always gets smashed by the top fighters, but Bader would flog him.

This is an appallingly bad post.
 
mousasi is a great and would work bader. bader has the wrestling to give moose troubles but he's just not quick enough.
 
Machida Could be the first 3 division champ. Has wins over all those title holders...
 
Mousasi never won the WW title, so how would he become a "three division champ"? Just like Cejudo is not magically the BW Champ, Mousasi never won that WW title from Rory.

Only amongst idiots. 85, 05 and heavyweight are not their premier divisions. Everyone knows that. If Gegard gets another belt all it tells us is he's a bad motherfucker, and we already knew that.

He can fight at mw, lhw and hw.

Bader vs Mousassi at 205

Both fights get me excited
