Dutch middleweight Gegard Mousasi shared his expectations from the title fight with Rafael Carvalho, who will lead the Bellator 200 tournament in London on May 25.
"I'm a little more nervous than usual - especially because of what happened in my last fight. But I know when the cage closes, it will pass and everything will be in order. I have many advantages, because Carvalho is not a fighter and not a jiu-jitsu master. He does not set the pace in a fight, and it will play into my hand. I have my plan for the fight.
“I heard that Raphael is having difficulty with weight loss, because he is very oversized. I believe that strength will not be the determining factor in our battle, but the advantage in speed will be on my side. I will be better this evening," said Musasi.
