Gegard Mousasi may be a free agent, but he still has no problem providing his unfiltered thoughts on the top talent in the UFC’s middleweight division.
Mousasi’s (42-6-2 MMA, 9-3 UFC) current status is in limbo after he completed his UFC contract with a controversial TKO of Chris Weidman at UFC 210 in April. He’s made it clear he would like to remain with the promotion, and the fact he’s currently heading a media tour for the company in Asia is a good sign he will ink a new deal.
“The Dreamcatcher,” who is riding a five-fight UFC winning streak with four stoppages, is the No. 6 fighter in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings. He’s been a ranked member of the weight class for several years and has competed against many of the best, which means he’s largely aware of which fighters surround him in the rankings.
Mousasi doesn’t know everyone, though. He was asked to provide comment on every fighter in the top 10 of the UFC’s rankings at 185 pounds, from Weidman to Krzysztof Jotko. The results, as one might guess, were entertaining.

Although he’s known for being calm and stoic inside the octagon, Mousasi has started to let his personality shine through in recent months. The latest video is another example, but does it beat his joke-making compilation from prior to UFC Fight Night 87 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, a year ago?
