Good stuff SwoopAE, appreciate the detailed response.
I was just taking a stance against you calling him the most overrated fighter in MW history, wich seemed to be a huge exaggeration. Did not disagree with your bet and why you think it's good bet. But it seems you'v come around a bit
since you do give him some props and rate him top 6, wich seems fair and in line with current standings, and also now only call him 'slightly' overrated, wich I can understand, especially for this matchup.
I do agree that Weidman will be a bad and though matchup for Mousasi, I dont agree that Weidman would go 46-3 vs Mousasi's opponents, No way! you know how extremely hard it is in MMA to fight that many times and loose so little, I'ts still cage fighting, and that would mean Weidman would needed to be 90% favorite against everyone on that list that would mean he would still lose 4-5 fights. It's more likely that he would be a lesser favorite and I think he could easily have lost 10 fights, that would still mean he was 80/20 favorite on average during the fights.
Also it's not fair to compare current Weidman and compare how he would do against Mousasi's previous opponent where Mousasi was fighting them as a young kid, not nearly as good as he is now. You cant assume everyone was bad during that time , Mousasi was also relatively bad during that time, compared to now. That's a huge reason why people claim Mousasi is underrated and think he is so good since he WAS fighting all the more experienced and bigger guys when he was in his early twenties and was dominating most fights.
That's the issue with MMA math anyway, and comparing fighters from different times in history. Like Weidman was fighting/training during that time I assume, so that version of Weidman would probably be an underdog against quite a few fighters on that list.
In the end I think Mousasi is a legit great MW fighter (top 5), with an impressive record to back it up. And is slowly getting recognized by the bigger public as a great fighter.
