The Brazilian, however, was summoned for another confrontation after the trilogy against the North American.

A veteran of combat sports, Mousasi has experienced recent controversy. Involved in the merger of PFL and Bellator, the athlete made public his anger with the purchasing company, alleging a lack of communication and disrespect to honor the contract.
