Since signing with Bellator MMA earlier this year, Mitrione has gone on a 2-fight win streak, defeating both Carl Seumanutafa and Oli Thompson via KO/TKO. Prior to that, the former professional football player was on a 2-fight skid in the Octagon that ultimately saw the promotion release him.

What do you think, PENN Nation? Is ‘Meathead’ in the right, or does Hughes make a more compelling point? Sound off in the comments section!
