Re: Gegard Mousasi - Armenian MMA out of Europe
Geghard is a great fighter, is he signed with M-1?
So who else is excited about this wednesday's ufc fight night 13, when 4 Armenians will be fighting?For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

Re: Gegard Mousasi - Armenian MMA out of Europe
Mousasi wins in Japan overcoming a strong early attack by his overzealous competitor whose agression on the ground caused his first round downfall when he got trapped in the triangle. http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles.asp?n_id=12522
"Denis Kang (Pictures) looked to be in the driver's seat early against Gegard Mousasi (Pictures) in one of the card's most anticipated contests. After scoring a takedown, Kang applied a strong kimura attempt from the side, but Mousasi weathered the storm and escaped.
As Mousasi was on his back, Kang grabbed the Armenian's right leg in what appeared to be an attempt to pass his guard. On the way through, Kang threw a hammerfist strike with his right hand, which caused him to fall into a textbook triangle.
Sensing that he had an advantage, Mousasi tightened up the technique and forced Kang to tap at 3:10 of the first frame."Between childhood, boyhood,

Re: Gegard Mousasi - Armenian MMA out of Europe
Wins again. Takes record to 22-2-1. http://www.nokaut.com/?id=12&solo_ne...DREAM+4+Report
Match Five: Middleweight Grand Prix Second Round
Gegard Mousasi (21-2-1) vs. Dong Sik Yoon (4-4)
Yoon is first to be introduced to the crowd and has a catchy little ditty that I can't place as his walk-in music. He looks rather calm making his way to the ring and Kenny and Bas talk about how difficult Yoon's fights were early in his career, which explained his 0-4 record. Mousasi has a techno-violin combination before it busts into a drum solo with smoke filling the stage area and billowing out into the crowd. He calmly walks to the ring and gives some high-fives to the crowd as Kenny talks about how Mousasi has fought his twenty-four fights in seven different countries, all before the age of twenty-three.
Round One
Tentative start from both men and Mousasi throws a couple of inside leg kicks before Yoon shoots in, getting a single-leg takedown into the half-guard. Yoon works for full mount but Mousasi gets out of it and takes the back of Yoon while they're standing, landing some knees to the thigh in the corner before trying to drag Yoon to the mat. Yoon holds onto Mousasi's arm in a kimura position and Mousasi continues to land HARD knees to the thighs of Yoon. They restart in the center of the ring and Mousasi just misses a high kick before they trade combinations that miss. Yoon shoots in and Mousasi sprawls, landing a couple of hard knees, following those up with a good knee to the midsection as they fight back to their feet. Front kicks land for Mousasi and he gets a CHOPPING leg kick in on Yoon, forcing Yoon to drop down for a takedown attempt. Mousasi sprawls out of it and takes Yoon's back again before hitting a BIG uppercut as Yoon gets to his feet. High kick JUST misses from Mousasi and he lands an inside leg kick as Yoon shoots in again for a takedown attempt. Mousasi sprawls out of it and pushes Yoon away and they're back on their feet. Mousasi keeps landing the leg kicks and Yoon is already visibly limping, shooting in for a takedown but getting stuffed again. Mousasi on top in the half-guard and he lands some shots before Yoon manages to get things back to full guard. Yoon throws up a high guard and eats a couple of shots before Mousasi backs out of the guard and Yoon is brought back to his feet. Mousasi gets a HARD knee to the chin that puts Yoon down and he pounds away a little bit before ending up back in Yoon's guard on the mat. Mousasi just misses a punch and Yoon tries for a leglock but Mousasi spins away and moves to side control. Elbows to the body from Mousasi and he gets a couple of hard knees before trying for a kimura that he misses, allowing Yoon to take his back. Yoon throws some punches to the arms of Mousasi as he has the back control and Yoon is trying to isolate an arm for a possible kimura. Yoon nearly transitions it into an armbar attempt but Mousasi gets some knees from the bottom to try to break the attempt. Yoon tries to crank on the armbar and Mousasi is holding on with a minute left in the round. Mousasi continues to land the short knees off of his back and Yoon gets the armbar locked in but Mousasi ROLLS OUT OF IT!! Side control for Mousasi and he lands some hard knees to the body and the head as the bell sounds to end round one. Nokaut.com scores the round to Mousasi, but that was a VERY close armbar attempt and made things interesting at the end of the round.
Round Two
The bell rings for round two and Mousasi fakes a leg kick before throwing a high kick. Yoon gets a nice uppercut to land and shoots in for a takedown but gets stuffed and ends up giving up his back to Mousasi. Mousasi has the body triangle locked on and lands some hammerfists from the back, working at softening up Yoon for a possible choke. The referee stops the action and restarts them in the middle of the ring away from the ropes and Mousasi continues to just hammer away at the head of Yoon. Yoon tries to roll away from it but he can't get any traction and Mousasi just continues to punch away as Yoon breaks the body triangle on the mat. Mousasi gets both hooks back in and looks for the rear naked choke now before landing more strikes to the back of Yoon's head. Ninety seconds left in the fight and Yoon tries to break the triangle again but just keeps taking short punches and hammerfists. Yoon tries to get to his feet but can't and grabs onto one of Mousasi's arms hoping for something, anything to happen. Yoon rolls away from the punches but takes some more and the bell rings to end the fight. Nokaut.com scores the round and the fight for Gegard Mousasi. Fifteen minutes of total domination.
