In the stand-up, he fights like a typical kickboxer – he combines straight punches and low kicks holding his hands high, very close to his face. When the distance is shorter, The Dreamcatcher attacks with hooks and uppercuts. He doesn’t perform attractive spinning techniques. He is vulnerable to southpaw fighters. The Armenian Assassin holds his right arm a bit lower, which opens up the space for left high kick or left hook. Mousasi tries to stay off the clinch at all costs unless he is forced to. When the opponent is on the fence, he does a double leg with ease. The Armenian Assassin has one of the best takedown defenses ever seen. He is a black belt in Judo. His strongest takedown is osoto gari. Mousasi also competed in amateur boxing, where he earned the score of 12-1. You don’t want this guy to mount your back or assume the side control position – the fight will be over quickly. He prefers punching opponents out, but he has few very good submissions in his arsenal – Kimura, rear naked choke, guillotine choke, and triangle choke.
