Mousasi planning 205 pounds stay

New Strikeforce champion Gegard Mousasi is planning to stay at 205 pound for ‘two or three years’.

Mousasi managed to win the title after beating Renato ‘Babalu’ Sobral by knockout on Saturday.

The 24-year-old will compete in the Japanese-based MMA organization, DREAM, for a fight in October.

“I’m planning to fight (at) 205 for two or three years, get a little bit older, put on some muscle,” Mousasi said.

“Eventually, I will go to heavyweight but not right now,” he continued. “But the ‘Super Hulk’ tournament, I have to fight heavyweight. Heavyweights are also good, but being also very big, the disadvantage is I feel with speed and explosiveness, (but) I can beat also the heavier guys.

“I see myself also fighting at heavyweight in the future.”
