Gegard Mousasi was the first to admit he could take away a lesson or two from his second-round win over Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou at Strikeforce/M-1 Global “Fedor vs. Rogers” on Saturday.

“I think people underestimated my opponent (and) I think he was a great opponent,” said Mousasi. “He got me a couple times in trouble also with the submission and with the takedowns he got me a couple of times, but it's a learning experience. It was good for me.”

In an exclusive video interview, the 24-year-old Strikeforce champion dissects his performance against the equally athletic Team Quest fighter and reveals the experiment he tried in training that didn't pay off in the cage.
