Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-05-16, disappointing fight between Gegard Mousasi and Costas Philippou: it gets two stars.The black belt in judo and former Strikeforce light-hw champion Gegard Mousasi entered this fight with a pro mma record of 36-5-2 (86% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.5 middleweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Chris Weidman). He suffered his last defeat in September 2014, against Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza (=Souza vs Mousasi 2), but then he came back to win in 2015 beating Dan Henderson (=Henderson vs Mousasi).
His opponent, Constantinos Philippou, has a record of 13-4-0 (62% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.14 in the same weight class. He lost two consecutive bouts between 2013 and 2014, against Francis Carmont (=Philippou vs Carmont) and Luke Rockhold (=Rockhold vs Philippou), but then he won over Lorenz Larkin (=Philippou vs Larkin).
