I'm really looking forward to this fight. Roger has shown a calm methodical approach in his last few fights, working his striking to setup the takedown and progressing through to submitting all his opponents. He probably hasn't fought someone at King Mo's level yet but he doesn't posess a vastly different style to randleman who he cut through like butter.

He's the first BJJ guy that looks like he might have the all-round MMA skills to keep the fight to his strengths by doing enough in the standup to get a takedown. From top position with a guy of this calibre JJ, it's usually all over.

What do you guys think? Even if mo gets him down, i'm not convinced his top control will be good enough to prevent a sweep. Leaving Mo with a punchers chance imo.

I think i will make a small play on gracie on a parlay. I also likes his chances. Prangley isnt the best fighter in the world, but gracie handled him very easily. Do you think Mo would have done it any better? In my opinion, probably not.

[Nick The Greek]

Mo will look to keep it on the feet, Gracie will look to get it to the floor, let's hope this doesn't play out like Overeem-Werdum.

Interesting matchup...wonder what the odds will be

King Mo -125
Roger Gracie +105

[bjpenn85]

I think gracie only need one successful takedown to win this fight. If probets are available as they should . I will play Kingomo KO, gracie sub. I dont think this fight will go the distance. If cold feets. Just gracie - kingKO

[omalley21]

Mo by decision.

[cheeese]

I don't think Gracie will get Mo down and if he does I think Mo can get up. He is quick enough to win a second rate striking battle. I like him by decision as well.

[Varker]

Mo will win

[sirchadwick1]

Mo via Dec is most likely my play on this one.

[Kaladarus]

I agree with everyone that thinks Mo will win this one. Mousasi has a good ground game and he was able to secure takedowns and stay out of serious trouble.

[snake11eyes]

I'm gonna go with Gracie in this one. I was never that impressed with King mo and I think Gracie will be able to take him down.

Are you comparing Mousasi's ground game with Roger's?

[RealBets]

im always pulling for the underdog. I dont like both of these fighters but lets go Gracie!

[Jesus Christ]

I agree with everyone that thinks Mo will win this one. Mousasi has a good ground game and he was able to secure takedowns and stay out of serious trouble.

The difference between Roger's ground game and Gegard's is staggering...Roger is one of the best BJJ players ever...if Gegard and Roger were ever to roll in competition Roger would straight up embarrass him.

As for the fight Mo's only real chance is if Roger doesn't respond to getting hit well since we haven't really seen him get clipped yet...With the combo of Mo's very questionable gas tank and Roger's great trips and a huge size advantage I think once Roger gets a hold of him in the clinch it is game over.




to all those who are gonna make $$$ on the Gracie

You honestly think there is a chance that Roger will flop to the ground grinning, begging King Mo to hop in his guard? ***** please, Roger has more class than that!

I agree with everyone that thinks Mo will win this one. Mousasi has a good ground game and he was able to secure takedowns and stay out of serious trouble.

lol comparing Mousasi's BJJ to Roger Gracies. Roger not only beats the best black belts in the world, he submits them!

[chris010]

Yeah i think people are over-estimating King Mo's wrestling. He may have taken mousasi down at will but expect roger to be a lot more dangerous off his back. It's a moot point anyway, i see roger taking mo down early on and submitting him in the 1st or 2nd.

Exactly. In terms of grappling competition, in both gi and no gi, Roger may be the greatest grappler who has ever lived. In terms of achievements - winning titles at Worlds, Pan-Ams, superfights, competing in big no-gi competitions - Roger and Marcelo Garcia are leagues ahead of the rest. And not only do they win, but they dominate. Gegard Mousasi's ground game is no metric here.

[GoldRush7]

King mo is overrated...he got exposed in his last fight

And lets not forget Jardine took Mousasi down rather easily also so that doesnt make Mo's TD's look that great
