Gegard Mousasi racked up 15 consecutive victories before running into Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal in April. In that fight, Mousasi was taken down repeatedly and stuck under a smothering top game that sapped him of any offense. He lost his Strikeforce belt and it looked like we found Mousasi’s weakness.

At DREAM.15 on July 10, Mousasi will face Jake O’Brien in a four-man tournament for the DREAM light heavyweight title. O’Brien is a wrestler who is famous for a smothering top game that saps you of any offense.

The former Strikeforce and DREAM champion spoke to the press on Thursday about an opponent made to beat him, fighting his weaknesses and his goals for more belts.
