Gegard Mousasi (Pictured), on “Beatdown,” discussing the advantages he believes fighters training in the U.S. have:

“As far as technology and how they do it, like weight cutting and stuff like that, I’m way behind them because I don’t have those contacts. I don’t have those people around me that can help me with those things. … In the U.S., it’s a lot more professional what the athletes do there. The nutrition, the trainers, the people that they work with there, it’s much more professional than what I do. If you compare me to the U.S. fighters, I’m just an amateur the way I prepare for my fights. I give [up] a lot of advantages there. I understand that, but for me, yes, I’m learning but slowly.”

Live radio was in full effect Wednesday on The Sherdog Radio Network with new episodes of "Beatdown" and "The Savage Dog Show."

After nearly a month away from The SRN Greg Savage returned for another edition of "The Savage Dog Show." Along with co-host Jeff Sherwood the two men discussed the latest topics in mixed martial arts. Including the fight announcement of Alistair Overeem facing Brock Lesnar. Greg and Jeff also spoke to Pat Healy. The Team Quest product is set to face Maximo Blanco Saturday night in the Strikeforce cage.

Jon Luther and I were also back for another edition of "Beatdown." Joining us was former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi. The Dutch based Armenian will return to Strikeforce on December 17th to take on an un-named opponent. "The Dreamcatcher" talks about his return state-side, the landscape of mixed martial arts, and his goals going forward. Luther and I also talk about the announcement that Carlos Condit will be replacing Nick Diaz in a welterweight title match against champion Georges St. Pierre.

Gegard Mousasi (Pictured), on “Beatdown,” discussing Strikeforce’s rule change to allow elbows on the ground:

“I think now it’s more dangerous to be fighting from your back because elbows can cut you. I think now more than ever wrestling is more important. With elbows you can do more damage from the top position. It changes the fighting a little bit, but it shouldn’t matter because I shouldn’t be on my back anyway.”

Live radio returned to The Sherdog Radio Network Monday with a brand new episode of "Beatdown." Lutfi Sariahmed was live for two hours. Joining him were MMA fighters Gegard Mousasi and Ben Askren.

Ben Askren returns to the Bellator cage this Saturday night in a non-title affair. "Funky" will be facing former bodogFIGHT welterweight champion Nick Thompson. Askren chats with Sariahmed about the upcoming fight.

Also on Saturday night former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi will face UFC veteran Keith Jardine in San Diego, California. Mousasi chats about the fight and how Jardine being a late replacement has effected his preparation for the contest.
