That would be a good one.

213 = heavyweight?

[LuckyD]

He sounds very wishy-washy in interviews.

I seriously doubt he "can't" make MW anymore, he just doesn't want to.

Nothing wrong with that, but at least be real about it.

[Lord Strongo]

i want him to crush souza again since he(souza) thinks it was a lucky shot!

[Onion]

wait, what weight does he want to fight Vitor at? He's saying he is too big for MW, so he's calling out a MW?

[LuckyD]

I could have sworn Mousasi had a fight or two left with FEG anyway. I don't think they would let their GP winner go so easily, even if he doesn't plan on fighting at MW anymore.

He has a non exclusive contract. So he's still part of K-1 but can fight elsewere too.

Hmm, for some reason I thought there was a no-compete clause with the GP winners. Probably bogus news I read on some bull**** site.

I don't think that's true because at least in K-1 guys like Andy Souwer, Badr Hari, Overeem and Bukaw Por Pramuk can fight in non K-1 events in Amersterdam. Souwer was the Max GP champion too.

It also depends on the fighter I think. Bob Sapp was signed to like a 30 fight contract, that is impossible to get out of. it wasn't until he started sucking that K-1 allowed him to fight in non K-1 fights. Of course Sapp was a cash cow at one point so his contract might have been different.

****, This whole time I was thinkin it was Jacare/Belfort. I always mistake Mousasi and Souza for some reason. :redface:

Lucky, when you mentioned him being the GP winner, I was about to correct you.

You can't say Gerard is looking for easy fights. A newly motivated and dangerous Belfort is a pretty intimidating opponent. Tough fight to call...
