Still no fight scheduled after winning Uriah Hall, the average weight Gegard Mousasi he revolted against the rest of the division, accusing its members of running away from a fight with him. But the main target was the former champion Anderson Silva. The Armenian says that his attempt to fight Spider was rejected by the UFC because he didn't have a “big enough name”. Weeks later, however, the Brazilian had a fight scheduled against Derek Brunson, who is behind Mousasi in the rankings. In addition to Anderson, there are also former champions Luke Rockhold e Chris Weidman and para Robert whittaker.
“I asked to fight Anderson Silva and I was told that I didn't have such a strong name, but now I see that he will fight Derek Brunson. Of course I wanted to face Anderson Silva, but I think he prefers guys who can be beaten more easily, or who he believes can win more easily. Luke Rockhold He's injured, but I see him training all the time. I'm afraid of accepting a fight against him and it ending up falling due to him getting injured again – if he's healthy, it's a fight that interests me. Chris Weidman Do not answer the phone. Robert whittaker wants to take seven months off. I'm looking for a fight”, said Mousasi, in an interview with the website of the North American channel Fox Sports.
The Armenian has won four in a row, the last three by knockout. In addition to Uriah Hall, three Brazilians were victims of Mousasi: Vitor belfort, Thiago Marreta e Thales leites – the first two were also knocked out. His last defeat was precisely to the Jamaican, who beat him in September 2015.
