Crusher got a bone broke and is fighting in september? What in a cast?

Im going to assume those links are old but looks a great card so far, Mousasi could do with better competition but Minowa and Saku and Kid on the same card is great!

I'm really starting to lose interest in Mousasi. I used to rank him highly after the Babalu win for example i'd say he was top 10. But looking back at his recent wins he shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10 at all! Really annoying that a guy who is obviously very talented just wants to waste it by fighting bums.

Yep Mousasi didnt live up to the hype and didnt want to fight Ricco. He didnt want to fight Hendo a while ago as well.. Disaspoiting and fought like a bitch against Mo. That shocking performance agaisnt a poor looking Mo really supprised me. Id love to see Jacare get a hold of him again and twist his neck off. Jacare cold meet him at 205lbs no problem.

i'm not sure why you say he fought like a bitch.

It was tactical errors that cost him the belt really, he thought he could outlast MO, he was wrong.
also he tried to fight of his back....that was the only thing preventing the ref from standing them up all the time(Mousasi's work from the bottom)...but the judges score who is on top as a priority.

Mizuno is a greatly improved fighter, and well rounded, he is not a can in the grand scheme of cans
to be fair he earned the fight!!


by the way....the poster is not up to their usual standard!!

Mousasi was awful against Mo and has deffinitely not lived up to the Huge hype that surrounded him,which I think alot,was to do with his fedor and M1 connections,so to be fair to him alot of fans were maybe expecting far to much from him and without all the hype,I don't think we would have had such a problem with his chioce of opponents and way he is building up his record.

He does have some obvious talent and is still a young fighter,so he might come good in the end but there is no way he was or is a top 10 fighter yet.
