Gegard Mousasi Says UFC Is Making Fights That Don’t Make Sense

March 31, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Gegard Mousasi spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Chris Weidman at UFC 210. Some highlights are below:

On the possibility of Weidman making a costly mistake: “It’s a matter of him making a mistake, shooting at the wrong distance, and he’s going to pay for it.”

On UFC’s matchmaking: “The UFC is making these fights that don’t make any sense. Dan Henderson and now (Georges St-Pierre), so if they would have done it the correct way, Romero would have fought for his belt, (Ronaldo) ‘Jacare’ (Souza) would have got his shot by now, and I would have been afterwards. But because of this fight (between Bisping and St-Pierre) that really doesn’t make any sense, the No. 1 contenders have to wait. Let’s say after this fight, I have to put everything on the line again to get a win, and then fight for the title, where it actually should have been me already if the UFC hadn’t made those stupid fights.”
