    GEGARD MOUSASI VS ANDERSON SILVA- ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DREAM OF

    Bleacher Report
    October 01, 2008
    CA

    Mousasi the Armenian/Dutch fighter is the new middleweight king of
    K-1 mma promotion DREAM. With pinpoint striking, good submissions and
    an intelligent stoic demeanor, Mousasi may just be the middleweight
    threat Silva is looking for.

    Silva, having just recently announced he was planning on retiring
    next year, is most likely doing so in a ploy to get the UFC to start
    hiring some top talent in the 185 lb. division. Nevertheless, Mousasi
    could be the guy to upset the fearsome spider.

    Mousasi's style and build is much like the spiders and could prove
    to be an interesting matchup. Being very lanky as a fighter, Mousasi
    possesses good striking and has developed an all around good jiu-jitsu
    game.

    Recently beating Ronaldo "Jacare" de Souza to claim the DREAM belt
    Mousasi's victory is very reminiscent to the Yushin Okami vs Silva
    fight, where Silva was disqualified via an up kick from the bottom that
    knocked Okami out, however in DREAM- Mousasi was awarded the victory.

    Mousasi has even submitted black belts in jiu-jitsu much like Silva
    as well, where Silva submitted Lutter by triangle, Mousasi submitted
    Denis Kang by way of triangle choke.

    The two fighters teams even have a rivalry with one another. Mousasi,
    who trains with Red Devil Fight Club in Russia has Fedor Emelianenkot
    the no.1 heavy weight. Silva trains out of Muay Thai Dream Team which
    has Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera who is either no. 2 or 3 depending who
    you ask.

    Emelianenko and Noguiera have a classic rivalry that ended in
    Emelainenko taking the belt from him.

    However, despite what an amazing match up this could possibly be, it is
    most likely not to happen. Since Mousasi has recently signed to fight
    with Affliction, while Silva is fighting in the UFC. Sadly this fight
    won't happen since Dana White is so intent on running any possible UFC
    compeitor out of buisiness and has no intentioin of importing Vladmir
    Finkelstein's fighters, much less anyone foreign who isn't from Brazil.
