[@cltv5407]

Gegard is 42wins 6losses. strike force light heavyweight and 2x Dream champion. His record is the most impressive in UFC middleweight.

[@sorrowstriken9481]

Current MMA record: 48-7-2

[@joseperalta7074]

" Should I dye my hair blond wtf" just got a new fan from that line.

[@Otis1194]

Mousasi is making a lot of fans tonight. Coming out of his shell and demanded more attention, I love it!!!!!

[@chriswhamilton]

Otis Whitton he has been doing this for a while now

[@whatthe5954]

Man, he's been coming out of his shell for a while. He did one of the greatest facebook live's ever, telling someone he'd slap their mother hahahahaha

[@herkihrc809]

Otis Whitton true

[@herkihrc809]

i have to said Mousasi end of the day u are charming guy xD.. I cant wait for your next fight! long term rising star lol

[@djoetma]

Within the UFC audience, sure. But his problem is the mainstream audience. That's who he needs to sell tickets and get paid more.

[@nodrama490]

Moose was gonna win , weidman was fading. Moose deserves more cash 💰

[@MarkWalmsley]

jem Ogn Moose lol

[@nikeettg5613]

Mark Walmsley lmao he would really look like a moose if he had a pair of antlers tho😂

[@theanswer3718]

This guy is winning and he can talk. It's the promoters fault if he can't promote his fighters to be big draws. Dana needs to pay him and then work his ass off to promote this guy because he is easily going to future champ.

[@Markuden]

indeed, this guy has a amazing story.was a refugee, multiple belts and like 50 fights. HOW CAN YOU NOT PROMOTE HIM?!

[@mistermiyagi6073]

i wouldnt say easily lol.... weidman was easly ragdolling him and taking him down, mounted him and took back mount. his striking is so weird he doesnt put his hips into it.. but then again i've never boxed in my life so what do i know

[@mrYsignal]

Magic Mark - Because they want to promote fighters like Cynthia Calvillo instead.

[@kain12343]

Mousasi is officially my favorite middleweight, unintentionally hilarious and one hell of a fighter. I agree with all 9 minutes and 21 seconds.

[@Ayko07]

he can get 3 countries behind him if ufc actually promoted him, armenian, iran, holland. insane record, young.

[@xunsungwar77]

Ayko unbelievable this guy is only 31 year old. scary..

[@LukeyCKsMaxedOutCreditCards]

Any suggestions on how to promote him? What would you like to be done sir?

[@taho415]

Ayko they love him in Russia also.

[@Ayko07]

spent 10% of the promo they spent on conor, use that on the rest of the fighters, many greats under the radar.

[@ja9665]

dana always says "henderson has been fighting for years" well so has gegard so pay him

[@hannesmonaghan8905]

This dude is about 76545141545x more marketable than Romero.

[@mrshadow2406]

Hannes Monaghan no doubt.

[@JerzySSJ]

my man, your math is so precise

[@muhammetyusufyagiz1073]

I loww ouuuu

[@younggilbert9084]

a fan of mousasi now, a real fighter and guy

[@xunsungwar77]

i have been following gegard since fedor days. extremely exciting always looking for ko. gegard is real fighter. cant believe he is only 31 years old. wow

[@tech1238]

Sim Jie don't believe you because you can't believe he is 31 years old. Surely you would have known that 😂

[@jammiiee]

Anybody that starts a sentence with 'I've been following him since..' is usually an utter casual.

[@ayoubhr77]

+1, for some reason I thought he is 37 or 38. Pretty experienced guy, 50 fights.

[@fushion999]

Jamie B Whys that?

[@bjjgarage1378]

You're hawt

[@monkovperdition2650]

The future champion without a doubt

[@BeeryMakesTacos]

MMAZED True....flying under the radar.

[@diamondcutter4056]

MMAZED ur crazy he got lucky

[@joshv5376]

Sharp Shooter said only you. how can u say that? did u watch?

[@edisonsun21c]

in what way? he secretly told weidman to be that stupid?

[@Verbal_Kint416]

You must b talking about Yoel Romero.

[@cosmic7431]

Mousasi is a monster, didn't get worn down by all the takedowns and uses his energy so wisely like the vet he is, had chris hurt and is telling it like it is. Respect

[@xunsungwar77]

Cosmic not just hurt, tired too right before those knees weidman was actually slowing down, his movement was sloopy.

[@3liJawad]

"do you want me to dye my hair blonde wtf" 😂

[@LukeyCKsMaxedOutCreditCards]

If he did that they might treat him like TJ Dillasaw...

[@pusheen666]

Mousasi deserves a title shot. Though it is a reality that the UFC wants marketability, UFC needs to recognize that Gegard is one of the best in the division and deserves his shot.

[@bryanboone3875]

I agree with Gegard. Chris didn't look like he wanted to go on.He was getting tired.

[@augustosibaja7311]

Very humble fighter he totally deserves a title shot. he trained with Fedor's camp a few years ago.

[@myname1022]

2:23 you want me to dye my hair blond? Wtf?! Gotta love Mousasi!

[@diegovaldes9916]

Mousasi should not give Weidman a rematch and waste his time . He beat him fair and square . His next fight should be against Rockhold to face the champ next or Jacare rematch

[@alex43778]

I mean they were legal I don't see a point in a rematch because the fight would've been stopped anyways

[@MJBOGAN]

The fight was stopped reasonably correctly, once Weidman came to, he was pretty upset about it. Mousasi is right. Fight, dont play the ref. Lets move on, whos next for Mousasi?

[@joeleek9976]

MJBOGAN -meh...utilizing rules is part of the fight. the thing I wonder about is if weidman was unable to continue because the knee was thought illegal and not continuing would secure him the victory.

[@jamhoe5880]

Rockhold for #1 contender. In a perfect world, GSP beats The Countess, vacates the belt, Souza and Romero rematch for the belt. Winner of Rockhold/Moose gets the winner.

[@MJBOGAN]

Well Tom, the rules are there to let the men fight, if you stop fighting and decide the important thing right there is to not defend your face, you deserve to eat knees, IMO. Certainly Weidman was too hurt to continue initially, I expected Mousasi to finish him in the moments after that pair of well placed knees. So working from that reasonably clear assumption, the correct outcome was achieved, and whether Weidman could continue after 3 minutes rest was never the issue. I was happy they drew the line at 1 mistake and didn't let the fight continue, as Weidman would have been beat down to a pulp in front of his family. He has got some mental demons after losing so devastatingly and repeatedly. He was a much better fighter when he was undefeated and had a strong mental.

[@BeeryMakesTacos]

Gegard...I feel you.

[@2ossy]

I think he is fighting

[@N-e-o1]

lol

[@iamtheking0888]

hahahah

[@IXIAwesomeIXI]

realest comment evar

[@JerzySSJ]

you think that's natural????

[@mistermiyagi6073]

dont blame him he was fighting

[@ReZjellyfish]

Gergard 'I'm fighting' Mousasi

[@ketoras]

mousasi is the man respect from GREECE gegard

[@SirCammyBoi]

A lot of respect for Mousasi after tonight.

[@zordonthevoyagesof577]

i fckin love Mousasi

[@tarcantekongre1904]

Who cares if the is "marketable" or not. He is a great fighter !!

[@marlock6573]

After years of being on the fence, I just became a Mousasi fan.

[@AA-nf8wb]

Gained a new fan lmao

[@dilatedvision7014]

Gegard is a great fighter to watch.

[@goldenman85]

u cannot ignore mousasi he got skills and would have won

[@martynsmith2419]

Bless you Gegard, will always be real with u. Let's go for that no 1 title bash x

[@abirt4095]

I'm really starting to like Mousasi hope gets paid what he deserves

[@TR-gg5nt]

Mousasi will be jabbing Bisbing's face all day and all night lol

[@jjjk24]

42 wins is insane in MMA only TRT Machida was able to decision him and Hall ko'd him but he got his revenge.. now he's on the road to the title.

[@Gray1457]

I am completely on Mousasi's side

[@arrontolan2084]

What a decent fellow. Didn't care for him much before this fight but goddamn the boy is getting it now. Loved how he said about his ethnicity impacting upon UFC's treatment of him.

[@hejda6695]

Gegard "At the end of the day" Mousasi

[@razvanfodor5653]

All the respect in the world for Mousasi. Such a true fighter unlike his opponent that put himself on all fours to not get hit.

[@markanthony-tx3qx]

I don't care who is popular or marketable....I just want to see the best fighters get there chance

[@padraigobroin370]

Mousasi is the GOAT. Has been champ in every other promotion

[@EverythingConsidered]

I like this Gegard. Go get paid, sir. Go get PAID.

[@tommyyork9786]

On the money. Love this dude

[@M.R.4.2.0]

#pushmousasi

[@drspoton4579]

Been a fan since Strikeforce

[@jeroenbats5955]

I like Dana a lot but he should have given Gegard a good contract. The guy is a legend and deserves it.

[@oldironsides4107]

Absolutely 40 finishes in 49 wins. What does a guy have to do

[@jammiiee]

Lol my man Gegard just went off on one! Too funny.

[@micklumb645]

a good guy and a credit to the sport...

[@underpressure3668]

At the end of the day, Mousasi won !

[@techstacker5361]

Mousasi would do great on a promotional tour with Bisping. Mousasi has said numerous times that Bisping isn't even a top 5 fighter. Imagine how riled up Bisping would get.

[@pingo6874]

He is right. Why does a Weidmann earn 3x more?

[@hanshansen6244]

this is one of the best thing that could happen for mousasi because now ufc almost cant let him go to bellator, because fans want to see a rematch. if he just had won then mabye would had let him go if he ask for to much money

[@lesurlately9311]

stupid

[@hanshansen6244]

why stupid ??

[@nickdelia3880]

Daniel Poulsen he did win though.....and their is no need for rematch it was a legal blow he won fight fair and square

[@lesurlately9311]

This guy is a nobody.. let his bum ass go to bellator

[@hanshansen6244]

i know he won fair and square. but this still give him a good stand when he is negotiation his contract

[@joeatkins4568]

Always loved his fighting style, but now im really enjoying his personality and demands. Go get that belt Mousasi 👊

[@MyIceman12345]

Mousasi is the best in my opinion super under rated amazing fighter!!!

[@AlexMW-1]

Mousasi is funny as hell and obviously dominant fighter. Definitely my favorite fighter.

[@Lv2flair]

Congrats Mousasi! He deserves a title shot.

[@spacepapi3703]

Look at them arms tho 😍😍😍

[@gordongg7276]

He's a genuine person give him a new contract with the money he wants he's a natural and will get belt he's the reason I stayed up till 4am

[@RB-mk7ph]

Ariel "how does that make you feel" Helwani

[@smetilka]

I like Gegard. A good fair fighter, a veteran.

[@cainkcarter2850]

Mousasi is definitely gonna be champ

[@ANDREVILAFRANCA]

I love Gegard Mousasi, i'm really happy he won! Keep up the great work man!!! \(^o^)/

[@xXTeabagmasterXx]

New drinking game : take a shot everytime Gegard says "At the end of the day"

[@CharlieRamos13]

such an amazing fighter

[@martynsmith2419]

Bless you Gegard x

[@VenomHernandez]

Do you want me to die my hair blonde?? WTF??? 😂😂😂

[@flashfaster7129]

This man has a real talent to fight.

[@josephzinck5680]

Sad to say I lost some respect for Weidman. Watch out Bisping, the moose is on the loose.

[@stefancompaneet7605]

Gotta love Gegard

[@CarlosReghis]

Secret to UFC success. Learn how to talk trash.

[@joeleek9976]

eon001 -nah...the new wave of ufc fans want high drama, not genuine people. ufc caters to them. probably figuring that the more die hard fans will stick around anyway...and are they wrong?

[@skip1837]

Very humble an doesnt seem like an ARSE .. fair is fair .. he's not asking for the MOON it seems

[@TollFree999]

Diaz: What I gotta be a white boy? Gegard: What.. you want me to dye my hair blonde?

[@billab0ng83]

pay the man . . ill buy the ppv . .

[@cxllumste]

Mousasi is the man

[@vailko]

There should be no controversy as to who won. Mousasi won. Weidman tried to protect himself by putting his hands down. It didn't work. Mousasi knocked him out. (technical).

[@VZ_VZ]

my idol

[@quintinthebot]

His stoic nature makes Gunnar Nelson look like a hypo-manic kid on speed.

[@quintinthebot]

at the end of the day... i go to sleep. good night sir!

[@wiragregory9093]

Philip Lo I feel like Gunnar is more stoic

[@MrDylanHole]

Brunei Brawler Without a doubt. Phillip is talking out of his ass.

[@combatsportsjunkie1076]

Gunnar looks like he's ready to take a nap before a fight,gergard alway getting emotional .

[@johnroughneen3585]

Naa that joke works the other way round, nice attempt though...

[@laneshaeffer2985]

I wish Gerard was still in the ufc

[@knztmt9257]

Gegard 'at the end of the day' Mousasi! next fight, championship belt

[@Osamaaaeed147]

gegard 'at end of the day ' mousasi

[@gbassaisaac7553]

By age am already in the top 3 do think guys who fight till 47 is normal 😂😁😱🐯

[@TheJpmaster69]

Became a fan after this

[@pimpninacadi]

pay the man dana white! or hes going to Bellator. I like this guy he's super honest.

[@techstacker5361]

Keep talking Gegard! Who do you think gets the fight against Bisping if GSP pulls out with an injury? The one who talks the most. Yes, Romero is next in line, but when has that ever mattered to the UFC?

[@TheMissing8]

This guy is on the fucken warpath. Respect.

[@iwannafallintoyou]

Respect, get your fair share. Your a savage fighter and you deserve it

[@037L3O]

were the crowds chanting USA when he fought? thought I heard that

[@CrZY_DnKS]

Akame yeah, come on now they were in NY. Weidman from there, hes amaerican Gérard is from Holland/Iranian

[@mattsamuels9]

the man

[@daveandmerlin]

Seems a good Man

[@sitruc5317]

Gegard is on a higher level than Weidman. He won! Weidman needs to rethink his MMA career.

[@handtohandcombat3535]

HAHAHA Love this new Mousasi.

[@mikemcd6710]

straight up

[@guybenmicha2902]

he is probably 1 of the top 3 guys in his devision shoutout from TLV !!!

[@mon_playztv9177]

Mousasi means grace under pressure.

[@flukesl8615]

Big difference in a Fighter and a Martial Artist proven here in attitude towards fighting.

[@dontaewoods8554]

seem like alot of people in the UFC complain about the UFC not paying them.

[@asud2571]

Gegard was clearly fighting

[@davoapo488]

Mousasi just got a new fan for being real !

[@Ambient.outdoors]

He's fighting!

[@roxannemua9350]

Mousasi is a hidden gem so underrated man Armenians are freaking spartans!! man So proud to be Armenian look at Arthur Abraham Giorgio Petrosyan Vic DArchinyan all legends pound for pound.!!!!!
