Mousasi is Spider like

The guy just has tons of power and i get the feeling he's got an iron chin. Seriously it looks to me like he's soaking up everything Fedor teaches him. The calmness and absolute killer instinct in him and Fedor seems very similar.

He definitely plays the part of somebody who is just a cold, calculated killer that's for sure

Mousasi made Babalu look like a complete can. Hopefully he can keep this up against Sokoudjou. That is the downside of co-promotion. You get Fedor but your champ Mousasi can risk losing somewhere else, but i suppose he had the DREAM contract first.

I don't know what the Red Devil does to their fighters but Mousasi looked like he just woke up before and after the fight.

LMAO Mousasi lose to Soko? Are you fucking kidding me? Soko is a joke.

Soko is a top 25 guy with big power and an ever improving, rounded skillset. This is MMA.

Relax. It's not like im favoring Soko, but crazy shit happens in this sport all the time....but i disagree that Soko is a joke. The guy has 10 fights, most against top fighters and holds two legit wins over Arona and lil Nog. You never know with his power.

Also, he was near finishing Babalu and Luiz Cane before he lost. So it's not as if he's been getting blown out.

Those were some of his first fights. They obviously didn't take him THAT seriously, but come on he was dominated in the UFC. I hate the way he fights, he looks athletic as hell and then is stiff as a board and has garbage defense from takedowns. He's just not very good, he's a .500 fighter.

.500 fighter against some of the best in the world. Lets look at who beat him. Lyoto Machida - a man who could likely take any LHW from any era in their prime to task, this loss doesn't even count, and he nearly beat Luiz Cane, a guy who looks as good as anyone in the division and is the hottest and possibly best of all the newer LHW prospects including King Mo, Jon Jones, Soko, Steve Cantwell, and Ryan Bader.

The UFC keeps Houston Alexander around who has the exact same career except he beat and lost to worse fighters overall and has no back ground in legit martial arts like Soko does.

The book isn't closed on Soko just yet. He is 25 years old. Look at Alistair Overeem's career.

did u see that Mousasi smiled at the camera.. haha

when he smiled i was like it is so so over lol.

While it's true I picked Babalu (I thought he would weather the early storm and get it to the ground to work his JuJu in the third)... this is exactly why I would rather see Mousasi than Fedor in the UFC at this point. After taking out Babalu, I don't see any threats for him outside the UFC at LHW... Not Lil Nog, Soko or anyone else at this point. This is why I was so pissed when he jumped to LHW without showing the world what he "could" do against Spider and in the UFC. And looking at him "again", you cannot convince me he can't make 185 anymore.

BUT, since he insists on fighting at LHW, get his ass to the UFC as quick as possible and line him up with Machida. I've been saying for months it's going to take a patient and calm fighter that picks his shots and doesn't make dumb mistakes. Mousasi is that fighter moreso than any LHW I can think of. To beat Machida or Anderson, you have to think like Machida or Anderson... I give Mousasi almost even odds against either!

I'm glad he is with Strikeforce. I miss the old days when there were two dominant leagues. I think the fastest way to truly unify MMA so all the super fights that need to happen happen is if another promotion rises up to the profile of the UFC, forcing them to cooperate.
