Just read an interview with King Mo and he said he is willing to figth at Heavyweight he just wants to get an opponent ASAP.
I think this is a terrible Idea. Mo if Im not mistaken started as a 185er... I think he should stick at LHW. He said that Whitehead had been rumoured as his 1st opponent and I think thats the fight we will see. I suppose Babalu would be the other option, that would make an instant star of him if he won... he he lost Babalu would be back on the map. Maby Soko, him vs Mo would make for a good matchup.
Mo is a great addition to Strikeforce but the options at 205lbs are very limited. I really think they need to bring in some outside tallend.
My thoughs are Firstlt they need Arona. Arona is one hell of a tallen, on a good day he is a match for anyone in the world at 205lbs. I think if he joined Strikeforce he would be the biggest threat to Mousasi.
Stanislav Nedkov beat Randleman, not impressivley but he still beat him and being 10-0 and having finished 8 fights he should be someone they should consider.
Filho would be another one, he looked poor last outing but for a while he was numer 2 Mw in the world and still only has 1 loss to his name. Perhaps he is better suited to 185lbs but he has fought at Lhw.
Ninja Rua would be the next one, his last fight was at 205lbs and I dont see why he cant keep at that weight. Strikeforces 205ers arent massive like the UFC's in Griffin, Tito, Bader, Rampage etc..
Hendo is a free agent but again who knows if he will be Mw or Lhw...
Anyone else who they could bring in to strengthen the devision? Who do people think Mo will fight in his Debut? I really doubt they will use him as a heavy.
