Fighter of the Year: Gegard Mousasi Beats Musashi in K-1 at FieLDS Dynamite

He went 6-0 in MMA in 2008, winning the Dream middleweight tournament in the process. And now he concludes the year with a dominant K-1 victory.

Mousasi is just 23 years old, and I look forward to big things coming from him in 2009.
