stpierrecanada Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/7/27/12304924/gegard-mousasi-vs-vitor-belfort-set-for-ufc-204 A Middleweight clash between Gegard Mousasi and Vitor Belfort will finally go down at UFC 204 on Oct. 8. MMAFighting confirmed an initial Tuesday report by Combate. The promotion has yet to officially announce the fight card, which is expected to take place in Manchester, England. Mousasi (39-6-2) enters the bout coming off wins over a pair of Brazilians, Thales Leites and Thiago Santos. The former Strikeforce and Dream light heavyweight champion is 4-1 in his past five bouts. Belfort (25-12) recently suffered his first loss in a non-tile fight since returning to the UFC in 2009. "The Phenom," who suffered a first-round TKO defeat to Ronaldo Souza in May, was 7-3 in his past 10 going into the fight, with all of his wins coming by knockout or submission. UFC middleweight champion and Manchester native Michael Bisping is expected to headline the pay-per-view card in a rematch against Dan Henderson. I got Moose by late stoppage. No BelfoTRT should have retired already. Mousasi isn't very consistent but I feel he avoids any vicious barrage or can withstand it and wear Belfort down, his striking is crazy accurate and I think he mixes it up well and stops Vitor late in the third by submission. What you guys think of this fight? EDIT: I now see this was posted in fight platform thread, but I'm super excited for this fight and not many people seem to know fight platform thread is there yet and doesn't get many opinions, so I wanted your thoughts on the fight.

Wolf Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Mousasi should win this barring a flying knee/spinning kick from Vitor. I see it being reminiscent of Belfort's fight vs Jacare where he gets flustered standing up then pounded on the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorio Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I got Mousasi by GnP finish. Vitor is off-TRT, soft, old and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacky67 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I hope for moussassi but it's hard to underestimate belfort, if he connect early he's acurate and can finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Moosa will win on the ground, unless he gets caught early, but i think he will avoid that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockg Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm with the Moose but anything can happen if Vitor bings one out of the park. Even post steroids he's got power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
