What to do with Mousasi now??

[SalvadorAllende]

He put a really good performance tonight against an underrated guy and UFC will probably want to use him on may 8th in Rotterdam.

But lets take a look at the MW rankings:

(C) Rockhold: Booked
1. Weidman: Booked
2. Jacare: Booked
3. Vitor: Booked
4. Machida: Booked.
5. Anderson: I cant see him coming back soon... or ever.
6. Kennedy: Why is he still ranked? He is kind of retired.
7. Bisping: Just fought and will need time to recover.
8. Whittaker: Booked
9. Mousasi: cant fight against yourself.
10. Leites: Just beat him.
11. Hall: booked.
12. Brunson: would be interesting but Moose is looking for big fights. This is high risk low reward.
13. Natal: Booked
14. Henderson: Booked.
15. Carneiro: Does not make any sens.

Big fan of the Moose but good luck getting a fight soon Gegard.

Take a fight @ 205 against a big name like Lil Nog, Rashad, Glover etc. just to stay busy

I like Glover of Nog, but not Rashad. Rashad isn't the fighter he used to be, but the boy can still wrestle, and I don't want another boring decision where Moose loses because he can't get off his back.

Brunson

 

[Fire Belly]

Pair him up with Anderson - two legends facing off

Who is Machida booked against?

 

[manboy<3]

Mousasi should be clever and avoid taking fights with poorly ranked guys like Hall and he should just take top 5 guys only now.

Theres a lot of highly ranked guys that are either old and broken or heavy PED users that now have to deal with fighting clean so he can pick off the weakest of them and take them out

He should wait for Belfort, Romero, Bisping or Machida in my view he would be at least even odds against any of those guys

All he would need to do to beat Romero is to gas him out

He could jab Bisping's eye to death

Belfort would be easy pickings

Machida may be the hardest of them all

the Future looks good

Hendo

This

Preferably on the Rotterdam card.

I do still like the Vitor fight but Vitor is booked and wants no part of Moose anyway.

 

[essie]

I think he should get Bisping next. Or wait and fight the Vitor/Jacare winner or the Rockhold/Weidman loser. Or Romero if he gets clear...wait, you know what not Romero. Never Romero.

 

[JohnyBrabo]

Mousasi vs Kennedy? But I want Brunson vs Mousasi dammit!

 

[Phronimos]

He may have a chance to step in if injury causes someone to pull out of a fight.

 

[raconnor]

winner of the vitor fight

 

[IBeLurkin]

Put him against Bisping, what's wrong with that? Mousasi should win, and then can get a top fight, maybe a #1 contender fight.

 

[Hoist Gracie]

CM Punk

 

[Easy The Great]

Let him destroy Bisping

 

[Cry0Therapy737]

I think they should book him and Bisping in a title eliminator and put them on the same card as the winner of Rockhold/Weidman vs. Jacare or Belfort if it's Rockhold and Belfort who win, I could see Bisping sneaking into a title fight if Weidman and Belfort both win.

If that happens I'd like to see him fight Anderson.
