UFC on FUEL TV 9 Mousasi vs. Latifi took place Saturday April 6, 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. Let's see what fights the UFC should make next for the winners/losers
Gegard Mousasi:
Honestly, I don't know what fight to make. Mousasi said he has a knee injury so this will be hard to predict. The fight that was originally scheduled against Gustafsson will most likely not happen, as Gustafsson will be ready to fight earlier than Mousasi. And Gustafsson is hunting for the title so he wants to fight as soon as possible. Mousasi will be sidelined for quite some time, but when he gets back he'll probably get the Mauricio Rua vs. Rogério Nogueira winner or maybe Dan Henderson vs. Rashad Evans winner.
Ilir Latifi:
Dana White said he was going to get another fight, so no worries for him just yet. I expect him to come out against a mid-tier fighter in the Light Heavyweight division that matches up well with him.
Ross Pearson:
I'd love to see Ross Pearson fight Joe Lauzon next, he's not afraid to go toe to toe and he's great on the ground too. It will be a good test for Pearson. If they want to feed him another striker, give him Jamie Varner.
Ryan Couture:
I read on most websites he will most likely be cut, but I hope he can stay for one more fight to prove himself. He had a very difficult test in Ross Pearson and even though he failed, I thought he did quite well. So set Couture up against Melvin Guillard or something.
Matt Mitrione
Joe Silva, set him up against Brendan Schaub or Ben Rothwell.
Phil De Fries
Put him out of his misery and cut him already. He's getting KOed every time he losses and it's not good for him.
Brad Pickett
I really liked his performance against Mike Easton and the fight definitely deserved fight of the night. There aren't a lot of guys ranked above him anymore. Maybe give him winner of Urijah Faber vs Scott Jorgensen?
Mike Easton
It's his second loss in a row, but he had a good performance against Pickett so he probably won't be cut. But I have really no idea who to match him up against?
What do you guys think of these match-ups?
