Gegard Mousasi: Israel Adesanya ‘would be a good fight for me’

Gegard Mousasi thinks he could be the man to dethrone reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, telling theScore in a recent interview that he matches up very well with ‘The Last Stylebender’.

“It would be a good fight for me,” Mousasi said. “You have to be patient and not brawl with him. Because then he counters – and I’m good at the distance. That would be a great fight because I sparred with some guys he fought at Glory (kickboxing) and I did very well against them. So, I can measure with that. … But it’s a hypothetical, so it’s not going to happen.
