Agree with this. Moose hasn't ktsken big damage but he's fought a ton. I think hes really close to his decline in combat sports even though he's shown no real signs yet.
Gegard Mousasi to defend Bellator middleweight title against Rory MacDonald in September
- Thread starter Clappin'Daddys
- Start date
I hope so.that is when rory brings the violence .dave coaches for a finish.firas coaches for a decision victory
I also would like to see grappling...Gegard is so slick on the mat, but Rory also possesses great skill
Moose I think is still in prime form, maybe better than ever. I think he keeps this level for another 2 years, possibly longer.
Rory is gonna lose and will probably be finished also.
mous is 74 inches tall with 76 reach
Rory is 72 inches tall with 76 reach
Mousasi has leg reach advantage and I think he may beat up that leg or both legs...a bone bruise like Rory's will always be more suceptible to swell upon impact....I had a very bad one that would heal totally and then swell up bad again from lesser impacts...it will be a target for the cerebral armenian fighter
Both guys probably weigh about 203 or so and Gegard is likely carrying less fat at that weight
Hoping it doesn't make cutting to 170 harder on Rory later on

Was Firas with him vs Lima? I know Dave was with him when he KOd Tarek which broke his ud streak iirc .
Sick fight. Mouse by destruction.
Mo looked like this
Gegard looked perfectly fine
if you watched fight it, is nothing more than Mo hiding from and absorbing punishment while Gegard attacks
Not to mention Gegard KOed Jacare from his back in first fight
Your troll is evident and your shtick is played

from the local news
Local mixed martial arts champion Rory MacDonald will be looking to make history in September when he squares off against another champion.
Thursday morning, ESPN reported MacDonald, the current Bellator welterweight champion, will fight middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi on Sept. 29 in San Jose, Calif.
MacDonald moved from the UFC to the Viacom-owned Bellator promotion in August 2016, a decision his coach David Lea said was largely a financial decision.
The 28 year old began training in MMA when he was just 14 years old, out of Kelowna's Toshido MMA under the direction of David Lea.
While he moved to Montreal in 2010 to train with UFC veteran Georges St. Pierre at the Tristar Gym, he has since moved back to Kelowna, with Lea taking back the head coach position.
The change has proven successful, with two straight wins and a championship belt to show for it.
Lea says he will be MacDonald's head trainer for the upcoming bout.
MacDonald took the welterweight belt from Douglas Lima earlier this year, in a closely-fought, five-round decision.
Mousasi, a 32-year-old Dutch fighter who also fought in the UFC before moving to Bellator, won the Bellator middleweight title last month.
Mousasi's belt will be on the line in September, with the fight with MacDonald taking place in the 185-pound middleweight division.
A win would see MacDonald become the first Bellator fighter to hold two division belts at the same time. In 2016, Conor McGregor became the first two-division champion in the UFC.
I'm open to anything. people are saying hulu. my (hopeful) money says cbs or showtime. i have all three, so i really dont care.
Showtime could do a much better job promoting bellator than paramount imo. getting 500k on showtime is much better than getting 500k on paramount.
Hope the announcement doesnt disappoint.
"Bellator on MTV2, Dont miss it!!!"
I'm inI’m down!
I agree, but will be pleased as punch to watch it happen
