NORWICH, Conn. – Every time Gegard Mousasi steps in the cage these days, it’s preceded by questions of weight shifts and super fights. The lead-up to Bellator 282 has been no different.

Laid-back and seemingly an open book, Mousasi has always said he’s open to different opportunities – but he also reminds remaining at middleweight presents challenges, too.
