New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports

Bill Belichick actually cracks a smile when presented with UFC championship belt

You would think Bill Belichick would be nose-deep in his playbook or obsessively watching film, but apparently, the New England Patriots head coach had some time to stop by UFC headquarters recently. In the process of doing so, a rare side of him was actually caught on film.

Legend has it that Belichick can smile. Sure, maybe being one of the greatest coaches of all time doesn't do it for him anymore and we certainly know that talking to the media is not his cup of tea. 

What he does like, though? Clearly, it's being named champion of the UFC.

See the video evidence below:

How do we get "The Hoodie" in the Octagon with Conor McGregor and who do we need to talk to?

Bill would clearly love it.
