Haven't been this excited for a fight in years!
These two are in peak physical condition both are at the pinnacle of their careers.
We get bombarded by the UFC with overhyped promos of match-ups that really aren't that good ...then it seems like every other fight is now for an interim title in order to try and use that to promote a fight and get a few more PPV buys....well tomorrow night ...no title will be on the line and the UFC really hasn't pushed this matchup for its true value.
Despite no title on the line or much chatter ... TRUST ME!
This fight will go down in History as one of the greatest showdowns in MMA. I envision Mousasi Vs. Weidman being talked about years down the road like:
Gomi Vs. Diaz
Liddell Vs. Wanderlei
Fedor Vs. Cro Cop.
Its hard to believe this will be Gegards 50th fight in his career and his is only 31?!?!!?
Mousasi career has stretched nearly 15 years and has fought a who's who of MMA greats from Akihiro Gono, Hector Lombard, Mark Hunt, Jacare Souza, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, King Mo, Melvin Manhouf, Renato Sobral, Keith Jardine, Ovince St. Preux, Dan Henderson, Uriah Hall, Vitor Belfort, Lyoto Machida and Dennis Kang...while fighting in multiple organizations over the years including the long lost PrideFC!
Then you have Chris Weidman who only has 15 fights compared to Mousasi's 49 ..but the level of competition Chris has faced has been at the highest level! Especially in his last 8 fights dating back to 2012 when he has faced the likes of Damian Maia, Mark Munoz, Yoel Romero, Luke Rockhold, Vitor Belfort, Lyoto Machida, and then of course the legend that most consider the G.O.A.T ...Anderson Silva!
It's been a while since fight fans has been gifted such an intriguing match up, but tomorrow night I'd highly suggest when Chris Weidman and Gegard Mousasi music hits and the lights dim...you get focused for what surely will be a fight that will go down in history as the fight of 2017!!!!!
