Gegard Mousasi (30-3-1 MMA, 8-0 DREAM, 2-1 SF), who’s won 17 of his past 18 fights during a busy four-year stretch, may have two more bouts on the horizon.
Mousasi, the current DREAM light-heavyweight champion and former Strikeforce title-holder, expects to meet famed kickboxer Jerome Le Banner at December’s DREAM “Dynamite!! 2010” event, he recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Then, he plans a February return to Strikeforce to fight fellow light-heavyweight contender Mike Kyle (18-7-1 MMA, 2-2-1 SF).
DREAM “Dynamite!! 2010” takes place Dec. 31 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. No fights officiallyhave been announced, but Mousasi is hopeful for an MMA-rules bout with Le Banner (3-1-1 MMA, 0-0 DREAM), who hasn’t competed in MMA since March 2006.
“I don’t know if I’m fighting him yet,” Mousasi said of Le Banner. “They haven’t confirmed. They asked me, and I said yes, so now if he said yes, the fight is on.”
