No. 5-ranked UFC middleweight contender Gegard Mousasi recently extended his winning streak to four with an impressive stoppage victory over Uriah Hall last month in Belfast, Ireland, and it appears as if he is now gunning for a bout with a big name.

“The Dreamcatcher” took to his official Instagram account earlier today (Dec. 20, 2016) to call out No. 4-ranked former champion Chris Weidman. Mousasi said that the fight has already been offered by the UFC and he urged Weidman to accept it:


Weidman is coming off of back-to-back losses to former champion Luke Rockhold and potential title challenger Yoel Romero, although he remains a legitimate contender in the division and would provide Mousasi with quite a unique test.

If Mousasi, a former Strikeforce champion, cannot land a bout with the New York native, however, he isn’t worried, as he made it clear that he’s willing to take on all ‘volunteers’ on his way to the top:

The announcements are coming thick and fast for UFC 205. Late last night the promotion put all the rumours to rest, confirming that Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez would headline the New York Event. The promotional debut at the Madison Square Garden, and New York, is set to be a big one. Rumours ran wild earlier this month about Alvarez making his first title defense against McGregor, but a few twists to the tale left us without confirmation. Khabib Nurmagomedov signed a bout agreement, but ‘The Notorious’ was clearly more in favour.

Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson, as well as Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz were already set for Novermber 12. With the addition of Alvarez vs. McGregor that’s three huge title fights in the Big Apple. Reports of a middleweight clash between Chris Weidman and Yoel Romero went quiet for a while. Rumours that the bonus-ban handed down to Al Iaquinta left Weidman sour have now also been put to bed.
