Gokudamus stole my name - Who gives a fuck? You can pick Minowa to beat Shogun too

You don't have to agree but jacare has a serious chance. The discrediting of mousasis wins are Silly. But be illogical Phone Post


Obviously i dont agree. Jacare has beaten nobody, he won the Strikeforce belt against Tim Kennedy because Shields left, he defended it against Robbie Lawler and then got his ass kicked by Luke Rockhold who was the first real opponent he fought at 185.

What you think would happen in a fantasy matchup is irrelevant. What is fact is that Shogun has accomplished more in MMA than Jacare.

Shogun had done way more than gus in mma. Your point is null. Phone Post


Gus is not a MW that moved up a weight class.

That doesn't mean anything in regards to your point. You said shoguns done more in mma.. He has almost more than anyone he will or has fought. Phone Post

epwar -

Mousasi might be the most overrated fighter on the UG right now.  When he fought OSP, he was so tired by the third that OSP won the round off him.  Gustafsson prob by 5 round dec.

You'd be tired too if you fought someone who was that much bigger than you, he out wrestled him the first two rounds. Reversed transitions on OSP and the ref had a bullshit stand up when mousasi was in the middle of throwing punches. Phone Post

Red herring. What i wrote was a direct response to your claim that Jacare would beat Shogun. I said what you think would happen in a fantasy fight is irrelvant, Shogun has accomplished more in MMA and is regarded as the better fighter

Gus beating Shogun doesnt give your opinion credibility. Gus is a massive LHW that has only 1 loss at the highest levels of the sport. He was a betting favourite against Shogun. It was a realistic possibility that he could beat Shogun

Jacare is a MW that fought in a B level feeder promotion and still couldnt beat the 1 top guy in his division. Its not a realistic possibility that Jacare would move up to 205 and beat Shogun, its more like you daydreaming while sipping on your Acai. He would be a massive betting underdog




peppo - I watched Gustafsson beat Shogun handily. Then I watched Mousasi fight a shitty fight against OSP, and lose to King Mo who just got KTFO by some random dude.

Mousasi drew with Jardine and lost to King Mo who just got KO'd, and now he's gonna beat Gustaffson who just beat Shogun? No way!

Massive ? I doubt it. Jacare is a monster. But never the less I agree somewhat. Mousasi is no can. Gus will have his hands full. Phone Post

ausgepicht -  I don't get the Gegard hate. He's not new to the sport and people forget that he's beaten Jacare, Mark Hunt, Babalu, Dong, Hector Lombard, and just last month he beat Mike Kyle.

Gus has beaten Shogun and it's Gegard who should be concerned?!?! Phone Post
        <br />
        So he beat a bunch of 185 pound guys and a green HW kickboxer wich now makes him the next big thing in the UFC?<br />
        <br />
        He lost to Lawal who just got KTFO by a 14-1 underdog<br />
        <br />
        And while there is zero doubt he beat Jardine. He still looked like shit and was taken down in the early rounds by a guy who fought him on 7 days notice. This is the same Jardine that Thiago Silva smashed in 1 round<br />
        &nbsp;</blockquote>
    Who the hell said anything about the next big thing? What are you talking about? Everyone is talking about Mousasi folding under pressure and I mentioned his wins to illustrate that pressure won't be an issue. I have no idea what you read into it. <img alt="Phone Post" border="0" src="/images/phone/droid.png" style="vertical-align:middle;" /></blockquote>
Your an angry little fuck aren't u. The point my paranoid friend is that noone is shitting on Gerard. I'm a fan and think he's extremely skilled. The point is that the claim that he will destroy gusto based on his fight with thiago is dumber than shit. <img alt="Phone Post" border="0" src="/images/phone/apple.png" style="vertical-align:middle;" /></blockquote>

AHAHAHA! I'm the angry one? You're the one posting like a maniac, swearing and calling people names. Stop projecting. I haven't addressed the claims or made a stand on who will even win in this fight. For all you know I am picking Gus. Why do you hate your second grade English teacher? Learn to read potatohead.

Even if I was an angry little fuck, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? 

Nothing. <---Read that again. NOTHING.

Have a nice day!

I don't find Gus that impressive, if he ever fights Jones he'll be killed Phone Post

This. And gusto completely shut thiago down. Phone Post

Lmao. No he didn't. Thiago Silva rocked Gus many times. Gus did the Guida dance for 75% of the fight. Phone Post





 



 



  



 



 



This is a close fight, but I'm going with Gus. He has much better movement and speed than Gegard. He also has much more impressive wins at LHW. 



 



 



 

The first gif shows Gus about 1/8 of an inch away from getting KTFO. Mousasi is way more accurate - hence KO time. Phone Post

People fail to understand how hard it is to win as many fights as Mousasi has, just from a statistical standpoint, EVEN IF the opposition was crap (and he fought a lot of decent and good fighters, so it's even harder then). He could have gone 22 fights undefeated were it not for shitty judges. Do the math. Assign a probability for him winning each fight (go by odds for instance, where possible), then calculate the cumulative probability, and see how likely the outcome is. He either is the luckiest fighter ever, or he just is one of the best fighters out there. <br />

Thiago is possibly the slowest striker at LHW. I am picking mousasi but would not be unhappy if Gus wins. Seems like a nice guy. Phone Post
