Mousasi Is PISSED! Speaks Out After Learning All His Opponents Make More Than Him

Gegard Mousasi has proven to be one of the most dangerous mixed martial artists to step into the octagon. His days as champion in DREAM proved he was one of the most feared outside of the UFC banner years ago, but his recent performances over the likes of Thales Leites, Thiago Santos, Vitor Belfort, and Uriah Hall have proved he deserves to be among the middleweight elite.

Still, Mousasi feels like he is not paid like he is one of the best in the world.

Mousasi recently brought up the fact that he is not as high-paid as some of the other fighters who don’t sport impressive records under the UFC banner, telling Fight Society that he was upset about how much they earned:

“I just see that Vitor Belfort is making tons more money than me. I defeated Dan Henderson, he’s making tons more money than me. I defeated Mark Hunt. How is it possible Mark Hunt is making $800,000 with a record of 10-10? Look at my record. How the fuck is that possible? It comes all down to this fight. That’s why I trained so hard for this fight. It’s not because I want to beat Chris Weidman. It’s because I need to get paid, and I’m going to get paid. That’s what I’m going to do.”

Mousasi will get to prove his worth once again this Saturday when he goes head-to-head with Chris Weidman in the co-main event. Who do you think will walk out of the octagon with their hands raised in victory? Share your thoughts and make your predictions in the comment sectio below!
