Welcome to your weekly dose of Three Amigos Podcast fun. This episode is loaded with great content, courtesy of our special guest, UFC middleweight star and international man of mystery, Gegard Mousasi. We don’t have a Weight List episode this week, as George Lockhart is working with Conor McGregor closely for his weight cut, but we do have a new installment of our popular segment, Sports That Can’t Stop No Double Leg™ and a tribute to our fallen brother, Josh Samman, who unfortunately left this world far too soon. All of his Three Amigos guest appearances will be at the end, after Iain Kidd says a few words on behalf of the show.

Gegard Mousasi (19:25 mark)
- If he knows immediately, as soon as a fight’s booked, how he’ll approach his gameplan
- If he thinks Vitor’s power will be enough of a factor to change his strategy
- If he has worked specifically on not allowing his opponents to get in a comfort zone
- Work with his lead leg to set up his punching combinations
- If he got extra satisfaction from having the best finish at UFC 200
- If he thinks Vitor’s “doctor’s advantage” was the reason behind Vitor’s success
- If the fight still means as much to him as it would have 3 years ago
- If he feels a win over Vitor gets him a title eliminator bout
- How he sees Bisping/Henderson going down
- Who he wants next
