Prediction: correct Mousasi   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

This is a great fight. It's also another really tough one for a skidding Weidman.

Prediction: wrong Weidman   wrong Decision  

Mousasi has excellent takedown defense, but he'll have a tough time with Weidman. I expect a new and improved Weidman this fight. I like & respect both, so it's a win-win for me. I have Weidman by Unanimous Decision.

Prediction: correct Mousasi   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Mousasi has been on an absolute tear lately. he will have more trouble with The Chris, but once Weidman starts to slow down, Mousasi will pick up the pace and finish him.

Prediction: correct Mousasi   wrong Decision  

Mousasi is the one person who I'm not very excited has the shot at fighting Bisping eventually, potentially. I think he one of the best in the division. And I think he'll beat Chris here.

They may fight Bisping next, but it won't be for the title...

The new management must be keen to slash Weidmans salary  - I mean cut back on financial expenditure via fighter contract agreements

Prediction: correct Mousasi   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

A year ago I'd have picked Weidman, but the two losses he's suffered have been brutal. Momentum counts for a LOT in this sport, if I'd learned anything in my years covering it.

Prediction: wrong Weidman   wrong Decision  

Good fight but questionable matchmaking again, Mousasi has a ton of momentum and Weidman doesn't have any. But unless Mousasi has learned many lessons from the last Jacare fight or Weidman's injuries and brutal losses have taken a permanent toll on him I'd favor Weidman here.

I'm leaning towards moose on this one, but if Chris gets going early, he can shut down moose's striking, and impose his gameplan on this fight. Probably going to be grappling heavy for weidman. He can hang with anyone on the feet, but I think Gegard is just a level above Chris on the feet.

Prediction: wrong Weidman   wrong Decision  

Considering that Weiman only 2 deffeat are againt top 3 who both will beat Moussasi,

Considering that both Machida fight is a good exemple of Why Weidman is a better striker

Considering the Moussasi-Hall fight show us that Mousassi has not the best defense (Editing, defense not chin)

Considering that even if Moussasi is better in jiu-jitsu, Weidman is for sure better in wresling + ground & pound (Silva 2 and Belfort fight)


I'm really surprise to see Moussasi has a favorite
