Despite looking for “big challenges,” light heavyweight Gegard Mousasi not rushing to UFC

By MMAEdition on Jul 21, 2009 with Comments 0

Gegard Mousasi (25-2-1) isn’t busy preparing for just one fight; he’s getting ready for two.

With an Aug. 1 bout with submission ace Renato “Babalu” Sobral at
“Affliction: Trilogy” nearing, Mousasi will also face judoka Rameau
Thierry Sokoudjou at DREAM.11 in the Oct. 6 semifinals of the
Japanese-based organization’s “Super Hulk” tournament.

It’s a full schedule against top-tier talent, and Mousasi recently told
MMAjunkie.com Radio that the unique
opportunities he’s currently enjoying are precisely why he’s not ready
to make a bid to compete in the UFC.
