If Mousasi wins this, and he honestly probably shouldn't, he barely scraped by an undersized guy spinning like a top

He was fighting with one eye, what was he supposed to look like.

God drat pacific time zone. I knew I felt like I was missing something.

Anything worth a gently caress on this card? It’s getting DVR’ed.

Also, how in the precise gently caress did Mousasi leave the UFC?! They really need name recognition at the moment.

Bellator offered him more money to look sleepy coupled with the UFCs uncanny ability to know when to let someone walk

My theory is that the UFC sends Joe Silva grainy VHS tapes of fighters in contract negotiations and he faxes back his advice.

Once again Bellator does their thing where they only benefit if one guy wins and they're hosed if he loses. Father dog used to say that the UFC is the only promotion that understands you have to make fights so you're well off no matter who wins

honestly i'm not going to look at their middleweight roster to substantiate this but if shlemenko won at least it would've been a guy with a marketable style having momentum and column inches to challenge for their worthless title; he didn't fight their awful, awful champion, or melvin manhoef, the only other 2 possible guys.

he got cut for having a mildly bad fight with 80s one hit wonder Falco, then he was retired for a while to become a stand-up comic

I think Mousasi already bean Manhoef. It was either in DREAM or Strikeforce. Probably the former.

He hasn't gotten worse in Bellator, so he's holding his own, unlike more recent UFC washouts.

He was also the first person to KO Pat Cote with punches to the back of the head :v:


Though it's pretty cool that Cote only got T/KOed once in his career of fighting KO artists and hard punchers in three weight classes.

The one time he fought someone with more wins than losses, he got KOed:

From personal experience I’m pretty sure a Tapout hat could be a “boxing champion.”

Cote holds a special part of my heart - seeing him fight Tito in his prime on two days notice, while looking soft, convinced me to start training.
