    I know Anderson, Machida and Shogun are there


    But who are the other two? I'm guessing some K1 guys or similar?


    Who would you say?

    +1 (and Shogun & Machida)....These 3 are the very best right now.

    But Mousasi is # 1 imo.

    Shogun, Mousasi, Rampage, A.Silva, Thiago Silva, Tito, Griffin, Evans. Off the top of my head.

    :huh eh??

    He's better than Shotgun and Machida?

    I dont know much of him. I have a couple of questions

    1. Why isnt he in the UFC?
    2. Would you fancy him over Anderson?

    Finally, can you recommend a few of his fights to check out?


    :good

    Mousasi is pretty bad ass. He's currently in Strikeforce. Hopefully he makes his way over the UFC some time soon.

    He's poentially better or on par with both Machida & Shogun (or anderson Silva)...How do i know this ? I don't :lol::rofl

    But why do i believe this ?

    1 - His record.
    2 - the way he beats his opponents
    3 - his solid gameplans
    4 - his overall technic + defense + offense...

    I'm convinced he'd be "the" most dangerous ufc contender today.

    Reason you won't see him in the UFC is because he happens to be a M1 fighter. (he is Fedor's sparring partner too , so it's not surprising that he's fighting in strikeforce at the moment)

    1. Rua
    2. Machida
    3. A. Silva
    4. Jackson
    5. Evans (possibly)

    Anderson must prove he can be as good as the 2 above him at this weight, he has only had 2 fights, vs a no hoper & vs Griffin (good victory)

    yo check out this video of fedor and mousasi sparring, this video really showcases how elite fedor is, the way he is able to do those slick throws on a guy on mousasi's level shows how good he really is

    Man v Boy

    Fedor is a machine, no1 p4p & ATG no1.
