They said what?! Pros react to Gegard Mousasi's shutdown of Thales Leites

Gegard Mousasi's stiff jab and outstanding takedown defense proved to be far too much for Thales Leites to handle at UFC Fight Night 84. For the whole duration of the bout, the Brazilian was unable to take the fight to the ground and struggled on the receiving end of Mousasi's hands. Here's how professionals fighters reacted to it on Twitter.
