My opinion on Mousasi

Great fighter that took a lot of easy match-ups and was always overrated and considered one of the best middleweights but people who watched him in Strikeforce know the guy either shows up or doesn't. I didn't see the fight but let's not make excuses for Mousasi, Eblen just took out a legend after only 5 years of pro MMA.

I mean you are right about him showing up or not, but you can’t deny the fact that he’s not one of the best of all time. You don’t get a record of 49-8-2 by being mediocre. He has beaten many great fighters too

As far as Eblen/Tokov goes, I wouldn't be too sure that Anatoly beats him. Let's not forget Gerald Harris nearly killed him, and Tokov's defense doesn't seem to have gotten any better. Hell, it's been years since I watched the fight, but I think Arbi also cracked him several times back in ACB. I love Anatoly, but, to me, Johnny should be favored in that fight.

Hope we get some nice wrestling exchanges between the two.

So then does that mean we're in for a long Eblen title reign? Cause realistically who beats him. Maybe a motivated Moose comes back in the rematch with a vengeance but I dont see it. He looked like absolute ******* dog**** last night and his age showed. If Tokov cant beat Eblen, then who? Rosta and Cotton when they eventually get there? Fabian Edwards? Vanderford? Larkin? I dont see any of these guys beating him tbh

Honestly it was just a pick I made because I felt Mousasi is hit or miss, he had no been fighting anyone in Bellator that was even on his level. I took a chance, I don't consider it a great pick, it's an upset but Mousasi has had a long career, I thought maybe he would come in over confident. 

A bit of luck and just took a chance.

Dog**** card for results good for Johnny knew he was good just moose too far gone, more mile than years in my opinion.
He fought heavy, light heavy some good wins and middle great wins even in UFC if you think hes not one of the best middles ever your just stupid no argument.
The point I see made about him showing up is totally true he seems a moody guy and not reliable for sure.
He should just retire enjoy the life he built for himself, reminds me of Rory Mcdonald does not seem to have the fire they once did.

Gegard

I have watched live every Gegard fight live since Pride. Johnny threw an overhand right and a left jab nothing else. Gegard no leg kicks throughout the fight a major weapon also barly jabbing actually doing nothing. Johnny nobody unless you watch Bellator knows him.I say Gegard wants out. Gegard won the last 5 fights in the UFC about to a get a title shot Thiago,Vitor, Weidman   Leaves for Bellator has a tough fight with Alexader( who is always dangerous) then wins easy every fight. Gegard could not adjust to an overhand right and a a left jab, Do not buy it.
