- Heavyweights Cheick Kongo (16-6-2 MMA, 9-4-1 UFC) and Matt Mitrione (5-0
MMA, 5-0 UFC) have agreed to meet at UFC 137 in October.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com)
today confirmed the bout with event sources, who said a Mitrione vs.
Dave Herman bout also was considered. ESPN.com first reported the
Kongo-Mitrione matchup.
UFC 137 takes place Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
The night's main card, including a Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz
welterweight-championship headliner, airs on pay-per-view. Kongo vs.
Mitrione likely will be part of the broadcast.
Kongo fights for the first time his stunning victory over Mitrione's
teammate, Pat Barry, at UFC on Versus 4 back in June. Barry battered
Kongo and nearly forced a TKO stoppage on multiple occasions, but the
still-dazed Frenchman somehow connected with two stiff rights that
dropped Barry and forced a first-round stoppage.
Since back-to-back losses to now-champ Cain Velasquez and ex-titleholder
Frank Mir in 2009, Kongo is undefeated in his past three fights The rest at http://mmajunkie.com/news/24401/cheick-kongo-vs-matt-mitrione-targeted-for-ufc-137-in-las-vegas.mma I don't know who wins this... Alls I know is some one is getting KTFO!!! | |
