After His Revenge-Win Over Uriah Hall, What's Next For Gegard Mousasi?

By Muk

This weekend Gegard Mousasi was able to makeup for probably his worst loss of his career, after defeating Uriah Hall by first round TKO. Gegard has moved himself directly into the position for a potential title shot, and made a point to ask for either Anderson Silva or Luke Rockhold for his next fight. Mousasi is now the #5 ranked Middleweight, and as we know, Michael Bisping will make his next title defense against Yoel Romero sometime this spring, so that gives Gegard a few months to face off against either Anderson or Luke. Rockhold makes the most sense personally, because in my opinion, Luke is the best middleweight in the division, so a fight between him and Gegard will produce the truest next #1 contender.  We know Luke is battling a knee injury, but hopefully that injury doesn't keep him sidelined for too long.
Gegard has made his mark on the division in recent weeks, and has said he will try and take a page out of McGregor's book and get himself pushed into the title contention by talking for it, and then doing it. He has finished both Vitor and Uriah with ease, and in a division that has only a few top contenders, it should soon be Gegard's time.
