Current Bellator heavyweight and former UFC fighter Matt Mitrione had six fights to his name when he fought Roy Nelson six years ago in the UFC octagon. A short-notice replacement for former UFC interim heavyweight champ Shane Carwin, Mitrione fell prey to Nelson’s heavy hands in the first round . It was Mitrione’s first stoppage loss. The two now have been paired again for Bellator’s heavyweight grand prix, but Mitrione (12-5 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) isn’t concerned about getting back at Nelson (23-14 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) in their opening-round matchup of the yearlong eight-man tournament.
