5 Reasons why Gegard Mousasi is the best Middleweight in MMA

#2 Impressive list of opponents

Gegard Mousasi has fought a murderers' row of foes over the years

As noted earlier, Gegard Mousasi has fought some of the greatest fighters the sport of Mixed Martial Arts has ever seen, and more often than not, the man has emerged as the winner by either KO/TKO or submission!

Mousasi's list of victims includes Rory Macdonald, Rafael Carvalho, Alexander Shlemenko, Chris Weidman, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, Vitor Belfort, Thiago Santos, Thales Leites, Dan Henderson, Ovince Saint Preux, Mark Hunt, Melvin Manhoef, and Hector Lombard, to name a few.

The very fact that The Moose isn't as well-known the world over, as compared to several other lesser-accomplished fighters; truly baffles me. Nevertheless, the numbers don't lie, and Mousasi's resume will undoubtedly prove to be extremely tough for anyone in the present or future to match.

Furthermore, it's also interesting to note that despite not winning the UFC Middleweight Title, Mousasi is still regarded by many as the greatest 185-pound fighter in the world; primarily because the only thing standing between him and a UFC title shot was his negotiation issues with the UFC higher-ups...Notwithstanding, his legacy is already secure...
