I was just curious if anyone remember Matt Mitrione. I went to highschool with him and he dated my sisters best friend so he'd be over at my house from time to time. He was an amazing football player (american football), played in the NFL for a bit but man he had a really solid UFC career. He fought when I was much more in to UFC, and loved watching him fight as he's a heavyweight who throws insanely strong hooks.
Here's one of his fights versus Kimbo Slice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e670NSQNpvo

I remember him. He was one of the The Ultimate Fighter contenders. That was TUF season with Kimbo Slice (YouTuber star of underground bare knuckle boxing) and Roy Nelson (redneck looking funny guy) . That season must have increased hype and interest to MMA. UFC signed Slice aiming to get interner fans, but Slice did not look great. I would say did not worth money he asked. Also Matt Mitrione has defeated Fedor Emelianenko, who is going to have next and last fight tomorrow on Bellator 290.
I remember Matt being huge and strong, but not very technician fighter. He is what people call "bull" or "pure power".
So you went to Sacred Heart-Griffin High School ? First step to deanonymization
