Did he win or lose? Oh and for those of you who don't know Mousasi is going to fight Loyota "The Dragon" Machida who is no slouch. As an armature BJJ and mma guy myself, I love that more and more Iranians are getting into this sport. I think we are built for it and most Iranians are already good at koshti which you need because most of the MMA fights go to the ground. Oh by the way I am not some crazy expert and I am not planning on becoming the next UFC champion it's just a good way to stay in shape. Plus Gracie gives $50 off for military discounts so it only costs $100 a month and the one in Anchorage offers Mauy Thai so that's cool. I fell in love with the sport. I used to be a huge boxing fan and I still watch it but UFC is just more exciting and I think you need to be more of a well rounded fighter personally. What do you guys think do you think Mousasi is going to win? I know he is Armenian Iranian, born in Tehran and he fights in Sweden. What happened to the Assyrian dude did he win?

There is an iranian kickboxing team and club in Hamburg and a couple of years ago i incidently saw a small elaamiyhe of a fight between Ashkan Gohar (team Ardalan) against someone else (i dont recall his name). However i did a little research on youtube and found out some real remarkable fights by Ashkan Gohar. In this fight he went to Netherlands to fight Onder Ural (a turk with dutch passport) and fucked him up pretty easily. He actually thought he would have an easy time with Gohar but he really fucked him up quickly. A very tenacious young man.

^^Looks like they have some nice equipment. I hate the gyms that only offer one martial art. That was the problem with the Gracie Barra I went back in Arcadia they only offered BJJ. The Gracie Barra I go to in Anchorage offers both BJJ and Mauy Thai. If gyms are smart they will tailor to MMA fans and offer one striking and one grappling art to target a wide range of fans.
