Gegard Mousasi is Fedor Emelianenko, but in some circles, he is starting to get almost as much respect. Red Devil Training video sparring partners have worked round the exhibition game and even Fedor apparently get the best Mousasi in the game, is the fact that Mousasi was able to land some of the incredibly ugly and throw themselves in the most technically sound and experienced Fedor
Look at the MMA betting circle for evidence of the respect people have for Mousasi, where the 26-2 boxing/sambo specialist comes into his fight against a solid opponent in Sokoudjou as a huge -500 to +350 favorite, and that’s despite the fact that Sokoudjou has the same kind of knockout power as Fedor’s Strikeforce opponent on Saturday night, Brett Rogers.Granted, Sokoudjou does have just a 7-4 record but he is a beast of a fighter who just made short work of the much bigger Bob Sapp in Dream and has wins over topnotch fighters like Antonio RogerioNogueira and Ricard Arona from his PRIDE days.Some expected him to get more respect against Mousasi because of the power he possesses in his quick hands, but his lack of a reliable ground game is probably the biggest reason why he’s an underdog going into his Strikeforce fight.
This match was originally supposed to be the Olympic Dream Super Hulk, but it was moved to Strike Force as the Americans might have a different opinion and Mousasi 's Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion. The film is not in the same row, this time Mousasi, but pride and physical health are certainly mm.
