Gegard Mousasi is rightfully considered one of the best MMA fighters of all time. This opinion is supported not only by his many fans but also by his impressive statistics.
Mousasi has won titles in several promotions: he was the Bellator Middleweight Champion, the Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, the Dream Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion, and the Cage Warriors Middleweight Champion. In the UFC, he was ranked fourth among the best middleweights, and he also held the fifth position in the global middleweight ranking by Fight Matrix. In 2008, he was recognized as the Fighter of the Year by Bleacher Report, and in 2009, he was named the Best European Fighter by World MMA Awards.
In addition to mixed martial arts, Mousasi had eight professional kickboxing fights, winning all of them.
Gegard made his professional MMA debut on April 27, 2003. Since then, he has competed in 12 different countries, including the Netherlands, Finland, Russia, Ireland, Japan, England, Canada, the USA, Sweden, Brazil, Germany, and the Philippines.
Mousasi's main feature is his consistency and quality of performances. He has had 58 professional fights, with 49 wins: 28 knockouts, 12 submission victories, and 9 decision wins.
He has defeated fighters who held titles in various promotions at different times, such as Cage Rage (Melvin Manhoef), Ring of Combat (Uriah Hall, Costas Philippou), Bellator (Hector Lombard), Strikeforce (Ronaldo Souza and Renato Sobral), PRIDE FC (Dan Henderson), and UFC (Vitor Belfort).
Throughout his professional career, Mousasi has never experienced a losing streak and has never lost two fights in a row. Some may argue that there are fighters who have never lost and have a "0" in their loss column. However, it is worth noting that Mousasi has won three prestigious MMA titles (Bellator, Strikeforce, Dream) and is the only fighter to have won two belts in different weight categories in the Dream organization.
With his 58 professional fights and high level of achievements, Gegard Mousasi remains a unique figure in the world of mixed martial arts.
