Fighting out of Leiden, South Holland, נעטהערלאַנדס, Mousasi has cemented legendary status within the sport, having won titles with multiple promotions across a 56-fight career. רובֿ לעצטנס, Mousasi defeated former BELLATOR Welterweight Champion Douglas Lima, clearing his path to a shot at a second middleweight title run. With victories in his storied career against Lyoto Machida, ראָרי מאַקדאַנאַלד, Chris Weidman, וויטאָר בעלפאָרט, Jacare Souza, Dan Henderson and Mark Hunt, the Dutch MMA legend now faces a stiff challenge from John Salter.
