Alright everyone, I know technically Gegard Mousasi isn’t a ‘breakout’ fighter, he is the reigning DREAM middleweight grand prix champion, and has been in 29 professional fights already in his young career (remember he’s only 24).But with his 60 second demolition of battle-tested veteran Renato Babalu Sobral in Saturday night’s Strikeforce Light-Heavyweight title fight, Mousasi has undoubtedly entered the elite ‘Bad Motherfucker’ realm in the world of MMA.
Did anyone else notice his nonchalant demeanour directly before arguably the biggest fight of his career against his toughest opponent to date? This guy has ice water running through his veins, and has a similar cage presence to P4P kingpin Fedor Emelianenko ( not to mention they frequently train with each other). It is quite a shame the Mousasi will be spending the next few fights of his career in Strikeforce, when the entire world knows that the Light-heavyweight division in the UFC would clearly offer him better competition. The pressure is clearly on Strikeforce now to find high quality opponents for Mousasi, or else they would surely be wasting his immense talents.
