Robert Chamberlin that isn't a technical name for it... The technical name for it would either be a title unification fight, or catch-weight fight if they alter the weight limits for it. A superfight is nothing but marketing nonsense.

There's always at least a couple of one-liners after a Mous interview. Friggin hilarious
The Netherlands is not a ppv country, at the time Gegard was in talks of a contract GDR was already a dutch champion in a very small market and Alistair was fighting for the heavyweight champion There was no use for 3 of the 4 dutchman fighting for championships. Very sad, because mousasi is the best of all of them
This guy is a legend fought at different weightclasses and even beat MARK HUNT

Awesome to see Gegard with the belt !!
I’ve always thought Mousasi would have been UFC champion also. I love Bisping but he would have walked through him. Think he could take Whittaker too. Only difficulties may be with Romero. I really hope the UFC would resign him but I doubt it.

Gegard is such a nice guy and a true P4P great. !!! If you look at his achievements in Dream,Strikeforce,UFC and now Bellator it his hard to argue that he is not the P4P greatest.An american Mousasi would have been UFC champ for a long time - but instead they gave the belt to average skilled fighters like Weidman,Rockhold,Bisping,St.Pierre, etc. .... Jacare Souza and Gegard Mousasi are by far the best in their weight devision for the last 5 years.

Been a fan since the Dream days and it's crazy how comfortable and funny this dude is now in interviews. Legend.
Before Gegard left he was my pick to eventually have the middleweight belt (before Whittaker's rise), and Rory was my welterweight pick. their elite skill aside, I also like them both as personalities a lot. Now we got an old RDA v. Covington for an interim. These two fighters leaving the UFC really hurt.

Happy_Killmore I agree about Gegard possibly winning it but Rory wasn’t going to get the belt imo. He lost twice to Lawler and took so much damage. He then took a lot of damage to Wonderboy and was no longer in title contention. I don’t think he would have rebounded to a title fight just like Wonderboy won’t be getting one for a long time if at all.

hkballer13 yeah true. My rory memory is still of him as gsps prodigy beating Woodley, but yeah you're right about that. He'd probably be below wonderboy right now, who was also a prodigy who was expected to be holding the belt by now.

The year of the Gegard.

one of my fav fighters
great guy! great style! I hope one day he'll return to UFC someday within his prime. nasty fight for everyone.
Rory is gonna get hurt there i think...Gegard is a freaking legend...and he has ko/tko 5 of his last 6 opponent...on a 7 fight winning streak!...44-6-2 overall...and has fought light heavyweight before! I'd like Gegard vs Jon Jones!!!!

Gegard is a funny guy

Damn, I went back and watched the fight again - Carvalho did look scared the whole time he was in the cage before the fight started. Gegard fights hard, the Moose gets loose, no juice!
This man is really intelligent!
What is Ariel Helwani talking about there is no challengers for Gegard Mousasi in Bellator at Middleweight? Alexander Shlemenko would highly debate that point. Also John Salter is deserving of a Bellator Middleweight title shot. And Rafael Lovato Jr. is in the mix and so is Anatoly Tokov.
Ariel "shove it up their hiney" Helwani
Still can't believe UFC let him go

Rory just doesn’t look the same after the two wars with lawler. He’s still world class and one of the best but he was just a monster before. He’s still great don’t get me wrong but it seems something is a tad off. Hopefully it all comes back together but he’s definitly been in some wars.

Very true, especially how Woodley completely starched the guy that gave Rory the beating of his life (Lawler) and defend twice against the guy that completely outpointed Rory (Wonderboy). Woodley is a worse matchup for most welterweights and has defended twice - Rory has never held the belt hence Woodley is currently the best WW out there.

Andrew Ortiz read that again. He said Woodley starched Lawler, he then said that he (Woodley) defended twice against Wonderboy. There's nothing to argue.
Gegard should be in the UFC...he wouldn't win the belt, but he might get a title shot.

He was never going to be champ, he spent the last 5 years making it very clear that he was not an A+ fighter. A win streak against Leites Santos and 3 men coming off KO losses is not impressive. Romero and Whittaker are far more proven at the weight class and clearly superior whether you like it or not.
@thepigeon2585

I'll accept that. On another note I do not accept the accusation that the promotion does not like him. He had 12 fights with the UFC and was always either the main event or co main event with one exception. That is despite doing very little to promote himself or become a draw.
That’s a PPV fight
