Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-06-22, some good exchanges between Gegard Mousasi and Rafael Lovato Jr but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.

He lost to Uriah Hall in their first fight in 2015 (Mousasi vs Hall I) but then he has won eight bouts taking revenge on Hall in 2016 (Mousasi vs Hall 2) and beating Rory MacDonald in his last one (Gegard Mousasi vs Rory MacDonald).
His opponent, the undefeated black belt in Bjj and former world jiu jitsu champion Rafael Lovato Jr, has a perfect record of 9-0-0 (89% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.24 in the same weight class.
