Mousasi = Overrated.
Not to prod any Mousasi fans out there...well kind of.Who has he beaten besides Jacare and Denis Kang both of whom are not top ten fighters,I'm not sure if you could even put them in the top 15 right now...It just seems like because this guy is an overseas only fighter up to this point, he's getting a shit load of hype...especially considering he's been tapped out by a mediocre welterweight within the last 3 years.

His fight with Babalu will tell us a lot more then most of his previous fights have so far.
It's a really interesting test.

he is phenominal for his age, and fights more often in more weight divisions than most fighters. Id say he isnt over rated at all

I agree Babalu will be the test to see if Moussai is the real deal.

I think he's overrated right now, but the hype is a bit justified considering his youth, and his well-roundedness. Great striking and a great ground game.

Even Babalu isn't a top ten LHW. So beating Babalu would put him inside the top 20 guys in the world. Mousasi needs to win a belt in in Strikeforce or Affliction. I always thought Robbie was over rated also. Babalu beating paper champions like the guy that always gasses out for the Strikeforce title Bobby Southworth. Southworth might need to drop down to MW.
