I've watched Mousasi once or twice. The one fight he looked bad ass and the next he acted as if he didn't even want to fight and it was a title fight if I remember correctly. I'm not sure how much I want to see Gus fight Bones.

I don't think Gus beats Jones, but I like seeing new guys get shots. I'm not a fan of rematches.

Oh yes I'm in the same boat. Although it would be nice to see Bigfoot beat Cain.

Rumors that Gustafssun has a bad cut and that he isn't being cleared to fight Mousasi this Saturday, hopefully the UFC can find a great replacement but that's going to be hard on less than a weeks notice.

Why is he still sparring this close to a fight?

No clue, seems risky and it almost cost him a shit ton of money.

Yeah, I was just interested in seeing how he would do against one of the guys closer to the top of the weight class.

All I know is that he has a huge following in Sweden and is a training partner for Gustafssun.

Ross Pearson finishes Ryan Couture and Mousasi wins by unaminous decision.

Great card top to bottom imo, prelims were great. Brad Pickett and Mike Easton put on a great and high level back and forth fight. Matt Mitrione absolutely flattened Phil DeFries. Diego Brandao showed a lot of composure and improvement(which is scary). Peralta and Corisani put on a great back and forth battle as well. Mousasi put on a clinic with the jab, best jab I've ever seen in MMA. He apparently came into the fight with a bad knee injury that will require surgery. Would have liked to see a little more urgency from him though. Also, props to Latifi for stepping up and cutting almost 30 pounds in 4 days to take on one of the best guys in the division, hope he gets another shot with a full training camp.
