Toch maar even opgezocht, voor het geval ik het verkeerd begrepen had...
Both fighters were stymied by current No. 1 contender Lyoto Machida, who in July challenges champ Chris Weidman for the belt. But Mousasi said it was his mindset that led him astray.
“I wasn’t nervous at all, and every time I’m nervous, I perform better,” he said. “I didn’t come short on anything fighting; it wasn’t like he overwhelmed me. But I think I came short on strategy and game plan, changing the way I was fighting him.
“But I feel I’m at the top level (of competition). I think I can can compete against anyone – gameplan was what I did wrong against Machida.”
Mousasi, of course, doesn’t plan on making the mistake of choosing the wrong strategy, or simply failing to adapt. He said he is planning on imposing his will and wearing him down.
