Gegard Mousasi has had high expectations ever since he joined the UFC roster in 2013 following a short stint in Strikeforce, but has rarely lived up to to those expectations.
For example, in his middleweight debut, he lost a unanimous decision to former titleholder Lyoto Machida. Following that, he did pick up a win over the now-retired Mark Munoz, but went on to get submitted by top contender Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza just over a year ago.
As you can see, Mousasi is able to beat top 10, top 15 and un-ranked opponents but can’t quite get over that top five hump.
