Mellanviktaren Gegard Mousasi mötte senast Thiago Santos under UFC 200 då han segrade via TKO i första ronden och han står nu med två raka vinster. Nu vill han ha en ny match mot ett större namn och hoppas på att antingen få möta Vitor Belfort eller Anderson Silva under UFC 205 som äger rum i New York i november.
Det här berättade Mousasi via MMAJunkie:
New York, Anderson Silva. Or Vitor Belfort.
Anderson Silva has lost (four) of his last (five) fights. He’s still ranked No. 5. He’s been caught for steroids. He’s been losing fights, and he’s still in the top six. The rankings don’t matter. I just need to keep busy. I need a couple wins because there are a couple guys ahead of me.
Mousasi meddelade tidigare att Belfort skulle ha gått med på en match, men hävdade sedan att Belfort kommer att fortsätta fly honom.
After years of running, @vitorbelfort has finally agreed to fight me. The fans just won. @UFC

Sorry, Everyone. April fools came early. @vitorbelfort will never fight me. If he wanted to it would have happened years ago.

I would like to fight again, maybe in New York. That would be nice to have on my resume. I can fight in two months again. Three or four fights this year, and I can do it.
UFC 205 äger rum i Madison Square Garden den 12 november.
