The Bellator roster continued to flourish today when it was announced Gegard Mousasi has officially signed with the blooming organization.
After a 12-fight UFC career in which he was the main or co-main event 11 times, Mousasi (42-6-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) completed his contract with the promotion with a victory over former champ Chris Weidman in April. “The Dreamcatcher” initially wanted to remain with the UFC to pursue his goal of a title, but he could not come to terms.
Now Mousasi joins Bellator and becomes an instant title contender in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. He’s the latest big-name signing for Bellator, and one which created a lot of excitement within the MMA community.
Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Mousasi signing with Bellator.
