Gegard Mousasi and Caros Fodo are close to title shots with their wins at the recent Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal according to mmajunkie.com.

Mousasi took on top prospect Ovince St. Preux in their December 17 matchup. Heading into the bout, Mousasi was a favorite to win the fight but St. Preux still possess potent wrestling that some said could lead to an upset win for St. Preux.

"I've been working on wrestling and fighting against the cage. I believe he got only one takedown. I think I am good at scrambling even better now. If they take me down, I can get up...I don't get in very much danger," Mousasi said.

Mousasi won the bout as he ground and pounded his way to a unanimous decision victory. With the win, Mousasi is 4-0-1 over his last five fights.

"I think the fight we had tonight definitely had title implications for that championship belt. Then on Jan. 7, we've got the fight between 'King Mo' and Lorenz Larkin which will have title implications, as well. It hasn't been decided, but I think that's kind of the path it's headed in," Scott Coker, Strikeforce CEO, said.

Also on the night's card was Fodor fighting Justin Wilcox in a lightweight matchup. Fodor was on a four fight win streak and Wilcox won six consecutive fights, barring a no contest.

"I wasn't expecting that fight to go like that. I was ready for a three-round battle. I'm just happy I pulled out the win," Fodor said after he defeated Wilcox in just 13 seconds via KO.

Fodor's win over Wilcox extends his win streak to five fights and remains undefeated in MMA, 5-0 in Strikeforce.

"If Strikeforce feels I'm ready for that title shot, I will come prepared. A lot of people thought that if Justin beat me, he would get a title shot, so I think beating him secured my position among the top guys," Fodor said.
