From TopMMANews.com:

For the past three years, Gewik Mousasi, older brother of former DREAM middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi, has focused on becoming one of Holland’s best MMA trainers. Most recently, Mousasi has served as a coach for Team Benelux in the “M-1 Challenge Presented by Affliction.”

However, on Saturday, Aug. 15 at Studio 22 in Hilversum, Holland (just outside of Amsterdam), Gewik will take on the unique role of player-coach as he returns to active competition as the heavyweight representative for Benelux when it faces Group C rival USA East. For those unable to attend live, Mousasi’s fight will be televised live during M-1Global.com’s live two-day Internet PPV stream (not available in the U.S. or Korea).

For Mousasi, it will be his first bout since a co-promoted M-1 and MFC show in April of 2006 featuring Russian fighters taking on European fighters. During the show, Mousasi lost his match against Besike Gerinava. The defeat ended a four fight win streak that included a notable win over current Team Finland heavyweight Toni Valtonen.
