How many of you think Mousasi is the actuall Nº 6 MW in the world??? this are his last four fights...
Ronaldo Souza KO (Upkick) (A class)
Melvin Manhoef Submission (Triangle Choke) (A class)
Dong Sik Yoon Decision (Unanimous) (his record isnt very impressive, but he lost to only the best)
Denis Kang Submission (Triangle Choke) (A class)
Steve Mensing KO (Punch) (dont even know who this guy is)
Evangelista Cyborg TKO (b class)
Besides Nate, do you think any UFC MW could beat him? I think Nate vs Mousasi will be a hell of I fight, but besides him, I dont see anyone else beating him... not to mention he has faced better competition than any other UFC fighter in his last six fights...

i'd agree that he's underated. would love to see him jump into the ufc mix. especially in that weight division.

I wish he would have stayed at MW instead of moving up to LHW. The guy is a beast for sure.

I think Mousasi has great potential at MW, it suits his body frame the best. There are tons of great matches for him in the UFC at MW or LHW though and I would love to him fight in the octagon at any weight class.

here is what Mousasi had to say about it:
"They wanted me to defend my belt one more time, but going from 216 to 185, it’s not possible for me anymore," he says. "I have to move up."

I'm surprised he's moving up. He doesn't look that big. How tall is he?

Personally, i think submitting Manouef is overrated, and Kang has a tendency to crash and burn in fights... having said that, he's definitely on the radar for contenders. I wish he would stay at 185 and take on Belfort or if he does move to 205, start fighting top 205ers... Sobral would be a good test. He's kind of jumping between wanting to go to different weight classes, wanting to box, etc...
I don't think he's underrated nor overrated, he still has a few fights to go against top 10 fighters before he cements his place as a contender. At least in my opinion.
Speaking of which, i would like to see Jacare fighting more often as well..

why do you think subing Manhoef is overrated??? Manhoef is a hell of a fighter, it does some mistakes sometimes, that normally cost him fights, like the one he did against akiyama, and the stupid slam he tried to do (actually did) to gegard... but if any Mw wants to strike with him, good luck my friend, and that stands for AS as well....

I think the majority of US fans don't know who Mousasi is, so yes, he is underrated. The upkick on Jacare was nasty. Then for good measure he KO's Mushashi in K-1 rules. Awesome.

Submitting Manouef is easy, getting him to the ground without getting KTFO is hard. Unless of course Manhouef slams you and takes the fight to the ground.

Because Manhoef is a stand up fighter, and in the last few years all his losses are from submissions, which to me, is why he went back to K-1. He doesn't have submission defense. If Mousasi, a guy who wants to box, stood and traded and won by Ko, then i wouldn't say sh*t.
Don't get angry that i think Manhoef is one dimensional when it comes to MMA, it's just what i think. I love Manhoef's fighting style, but i like him better in K-1, when guys have to try to knock him out.

Of course he is underrated people just forget about his win over Jacre, kang and Manhoef and tend to look at his other fights in which he hasn't faced top competition in. It is like some distant memory for a lot of these people.
As for his only 2 loses to Gono and Petras came from a Armbar submissions, now he is beating such high caliber BJJ practitioners like Ronaldo "Jacre" Souza
Mousasi is by far the best all rounded fighter i see next to GSP. His striking is phenomenal his ground game we all know what he did to kang and many others on the ground and the way is which he puts everything togther is flawless. If any of you saw his fight against Kang you saw how he can keep his composure and keep fighting. He is just a well round fighter who has many tools to pick from when fighting.
People in America need to have to check out one of his fights they would see that he could be a challenge to Anderson silva and any other middle weight any where in the world.
P.S last i heard he will be fighting at MW. He is ranked in MW on the WAMMA rankings so............
