According to a new post on M-1global.com (http://www.m-1global.com/lang/en/2009/10/07/gegard-mousasi-confirms-return-november-7th-at-strikeforce-fedor-vs-rogers/), Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Gegard_Mousasi) has confirmed that he will be participating in a title fight at the upcoming "Fedor vs. Rogers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strikeforce:_Emelianenko_vs._Rogers)" event on November 7th:

At this time an opponent has not been officially named, however speculation is surrounding two possible opponents. One would be Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, the Team Quest light heavyweight who recently defeated Bob Sapp in easy fashion in the semi-finals of the DREAM Super Hulk tournament, a fight that Mousasi withdrew from due to a shoulder injury. While a fight against Sokoudjou would give the two fighters the chance to finally meet, the other name being talked about would be an opportunity to settle a grudge...
Yes, they're referring to steroid-using donkey-man Paulo Filho (http://www.cagepotato.com/videos-mike-goldberg-legally-blonde-mousasi-steroid-donkey-more), who was recently engaged in a war of words with Mousasi (http://www.cagepotato.com/paulo-filho-guarantees-hed-beat-gegard-mousasi-puts-his-whole-damn-hypothetical-purse-it). We're hoping that Filho is booked for this fight, because while Sokoudjou has been kicking ass in the highly competitive Super Hulk division (http://www.cagepotato.com/dream11-video-round-super-hulk-matches-featherweight-gp-fights-more), he hasn't beaten a top-level light-heavyweight in two-and-a-half years. (As you might recall, Sokoudjou's last fight at 205 pounds ended in him getting choked out by Strikeforce's previous LHW champion, Renato Sobral (http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjgxNTAzMzY=.html).) At least Filho poses a threat on the ground, even if he'd probably get the snot knocked out of him in the standup exchanges. The Reward Hunter (http://www.cagepotato.com/paulo-filho-emerges-rehab-worst-tattoo-mma-history) most recently took a light-heavyweight tune-up match at last month's Bitetti Combat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitetti_Combat) event, where he won a decision over TUF 1 vet Alex Schoenauer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Schoenauer).

Zouden allebei mooie tegenstanders zijn voor Gegard. Het is denk ik goed voor hem als hij een paar keer kan vechten in de US om zo ook een naam op te bouwen daar!

Sokoudjou is toch een UFC vet en Filho is ook een redelijk geresepecteerde tegenstander! Ik zeg WAR Gegard!

weet niet...

in feite is het appeltje eitje...
Enige waar ik bij sokudo bang voor ben is een one punch ko... het is een beer van een vent met absolute KO power... die kan iedereen KO krijgen... Maar goed, Mousasi is a league of his own.

Filho is de oude niet meer... punt
