Should be a good fight if the Vitor that fought Lindland shows up. Also, I assume this will be at 205..since Ggard said he was trying to move up in weight.

Awesome

This was one of the two fights that I said would drive me to purchase the next Affliction card. The second being Arlovski – CroCop

you won’t see Arlovski fighting MMA for a long long time baby. He’s going to be boxing for millions now.

And by millions you mean less and on the undercard?

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Yes, at first. But he can parlay that into some decent $ longterm.

Are you still a phenom if other phenoms start calling you out?

They have to fight it out to see who is the phenom.

I like Mousasi, but he says a lot of things. Without a tournament to keep him active this year, I wonder how much we’ll actually see him fight.

Vitor has some great hands, and I think this fight will show whether or not he’s a flash in the pan as always, or whether he’s really back on track. Also, against an extremely skilled and well rounded guy like Gegard, it should be a great test for both of them.

By the way, I’m really glad that Mousasi is staying at MW (at least for now). Honestly, I think he could meet with some good success at 205, but he’s so good at 185, there’s no reason at the moment why he should make the change. Especially while he still has the ability to make the cut fine.

This fight would be at 205.

Last i heard he put on alot of weight after his last fight and he’s walking at like 215! Thats no easy cut i think 205 suites him well though no need to go to hw. He thinks that if he is the best hw in the world he’s the best period though thats his rationale for the move, that and that hes much bigger than Fedor he says!
