#4 A near-perfect balance in grappling skills
The reason I've refrained from claiming that Gegard Mousasi is the perfect MMA grappler is because the perfect fighter/perfect grappler does not exist! Much like Mixed Martial Arts legend Georges St-Pierre always says: Perfection is something we must pursue, despite the fact that we know it's an unattainable quality.
Nevertheless, by no means would it be an overstatement to say that Mousasi is one of the most underrated grapplers the sport of MMA has ever seen. The man has excellent wrestling abilities, as evidenced by him securing takedowns on some of the most notorious grapplers in MMA.
Furthermore, his BJJ abilities are severely underappreciated as well, proven by his 12 submission wins against high-level opposition. The key to Mousasi's success in the grappling realm, much like his positive attributes in the striking department, is his adherence to the approach that striking a "balance" between everything in life is essential to succeed...
