Dean Jon Liebenberg
Gen 8""Cu Vermelho" stands for "red anus" in Portuguese. The unusual name started circulating as a joke due to Dean's hair color and after an unsavory event witnessed by a Brazilian friend. The name soon became routinely used as a synonym of Liebenber's laid back disposition. Dean is also called "Big Country" by some of his friends due to his admiration for mixed martial arts fighter Roy Nelson, as well as "Jim". "Jim" started due to the phonetics of the word "Dean" when spoken in a Brazilian accent."
