UFC in Sweden- April 6: Mousasi v. Queen Latifah

[ex carrabba fan]

Gus is close to reaching Jim Miller status. Win a million times in a row in the UFC and still no shot. It's understandable but still, his path to a title shot for him has been a long one.

At least he avoids a wrestler. Will Gus have to wait again, even with a win, behind either Henderson or Cormier?

I'm not too thrilled with this match to be honest. I know some people wanted to see this, but I really don't see the intrigue.

Miller has had his chances, and each time he was right there he got dominated. First against Benson, then in May again Diaz.

No doubt. I'm just saying he still had a ton of wins without a title shot. It was one of the rare runs without a shot. Not saying he got wronged or anything. Now we're saying sort of the same thing with Gus.

I think it is the fact they fighting in Sweden and Gus is the only Swede in the UFC. They use to do the same thing with Bisping every time they fought in the UK and with GSP every time they fought in Canada. Then you have to think about the ages here. Gus is young.......DC and Dan Henderson aren't.

Hopefully they put Papy Abedi on the card. I haven't completely given up on the guy yet, he's due a win lol.

Him and Prado have about the same level of sub defense. Papy has a lot of talent, I hope he can fight on this card.

Man, are they avoiding giving him wrestlers?

Yes they are. They are trying to keep as many contenders as possible active for Jones. Plus they are trying to build the Swedish market and are giving him a fight that he can keep standing and probably win in front of the home crowd.
