“First of all, I want to dedicate this victory to my country, which is now at war, but I hope that peace will come soon,” said Armenian fighter Mousasi in a post-match interview. “I didn’t want to spend too much energy on takedowns, so I did just as much as was necessary to win.”

“Several times he managed to get me with his low kicks – I made an imperturbable face, but in fact it was very painful. It was not easy – Douglas Lima is at his peak and he was big, he didn’t look like welterweight. So I fought smart, took advantage of the technical advantage when the opportunity arose, took takedowns and won. Perhaps another guy I would have tried to finish, but I know Lima, so I didn’t bet on it ”
