How can you not love Gegard Mousasi?

The sleepy-eyed assassin has been snuffing out competition across the global stage for more than a decade, and picked up a collection of championship hardware along the way. A UFC strap is the only major title Mousasi hasn't claimed, but the Dutch/Armenian middleweight still has a lot of miles on his proverbial tires.

Beyond his skills inside the cage, Mousasi has become a fixture among MMA fans for his overall nonchalance in a sport as chaotic as mixed martial arts. The best part of the situation is he's very much in on the joke and there's a chance "The Dreamcatcher" is about to take his stand-up show worldwide.

Of course that's a joke--or is it?

The only thing for certain is the former Strikeforce, Dream and K-1 champion will face Derek Brunson at UFC 200 on July 9. The bout will represent a power struggle in the 185-pound fold as Mousasi will be looking to make traction toward a long awaited title opportunity while Brunson will attempt to solidify himself as one of the divisional elite.

Red paint indeed good Sir.
