Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos TAMPA, Fla. – UFC middleweight Derek Brunson thought four straight wins would get him a former champ for his next octagon bout. It did – but a former Strikeforce champ: Gegard Mousasi . “I think I was looking to fight Anderson (Silva) or (Lyoto) Machida or something like that, but when they told me about Gegard, I was excited about that matchup also. I like how I matchup with him.” So Brunson is rolling with the booking, which is headed to UFC 200 on July 9 at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event’s bout order hasn’t been released, but pay-per-view bouts air after prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
