What really bugs me is that even reporters and all UFC ignore Gegard Mousasi. nobody even asks why he is not signed by UFC and he is one of the best who is wasted in strikeforce

1. You didn't see the entire interview.
2. Why would Gegard come up when talking about Rousey?

I agree Gegard would be a huge addition to the UFC light heavyweigh division in the fact that they'd have another highly skilled fight to fill the ranks and make fights.

Of course I wont say give him Jones but in the least he get enough fights to string some wins and possibly earn a shot.

Mousasi vs Vera

Mousasi vs Matyushenko

Mousasi vs Forrest Griffin

Mousasi vs Stephan Bonnar

Mousasi vs Thiago Silva

Mousasi vs Shogun

Mousasi vs Siyar Bahadurzada

Mousasi vs Rampage

Mousasi vs Rashad Evans

But back on topic yeah it sucks for Rousey and pretty much all of womens MMA that there in no talent pool. I mean people can knock on Carano for doing that ( what I'll assume was shitty) film but who would she have fought? I dont know.

But that being said I'd personally love to see Rousey cast as Samas Aran in a live action Metroid film

I dont know what he means by no one knows rijker, she was in million dollar baby. But probably right about not knowing her boxing etc and people avoiding her. I saw he spar once, she's a beast.

Its an attempt to try and make believe that StrikeForce has supreme talent!

isn't he a WW?

Rousey is definitely fun to watch but like Dana said in the interview it's going to be hard to give her credible opponents. That's probably the biggest issue with the women's division, there just isn't any depth for it to be marketed well enough.

Gegard was rode like a blanket by King Mo. Any decent wrestler would do the same in the UFC.

King Mo was almost beaten to death while laying on Mousasi. Gegard was not hurt at all in that fight and Mo couldn't see anything after. Gegard probably thought he was winning on the scorecards since he was beating Mo up but lost because he didn't realize that in American mma the way to a victory is by laying on someone regardless of how much punishment you take and blood you lose.

Because reporters ask about different fighters to be signed by UFC not only ROusy they asked Melendez Rousy as the fighters with potential and not in UFC They even asked about signing King MO for god sake who is right now in big troubel with athletic commission and nobody asked why not sign Gegard who is a talent wasted there.
People say any wrestler will give him lots of trouble but they dont understand King Mo is not just any wrestler and for record he wreslted with OSP who is a decorated wrestler and won that fight with ease.
There are lots of fighters that Gegard will beat in LHW division

King Mo is not just a descent wrestler and he is probably one of best (he was ranked no 1 wrestler in USA in 84 kg division.
So there might be one or two people in UFC with that caliber of wrestling in LHW division.
