If he keeps this up and with his smirky grins and demeanor, this guy could become my favorite heavyweight. I wasn't too sure about the guy on TUF, thought he was kinda strange, but after seeing him fight in the UFC and watching his subsequent interviews, I look forward to seeing him fight again. Good attitude, drastatic improvement from fight-to-fight, and great sense of humor.
I still can't stand him, but there is no denying he is getting better every fight.
War meathead!
...oh and by the way his striking is getting deadly.
Agreed, I think Mitrione has a bright future in the UFC HW division. Super talented guy and great attitude.
WAR MEATHEAD!!
I am not conviced he can hang with the big guys, but hes a likeable guy thats for sure... I didn't like him at all in TUF though.
17% beep, but I agree.
Cant hate on anyone who is making big improvements fight to fight. He came in a few pounds more than usual, but dude looked way bigger in this fight.
radiobaby - 17% beep, but I agree.

Only 17%? Well, it's a start.
Juzz - I am not conviced he can hang with the big guys, but hes a likeable guy thats for sure... I didn't like him at all in TUF though.
I'm not quite convinced either. I wonder what will happen with a really strong wrestler or striker like Carwin, but I am eagerly anticipating finding out.
For a guy who doesn't look very athletetic he sure is, I was surprised seeing him leap up on the cage with such each.
Not many unathletic types played for the NFL.
I'm starting to like him too even though I hated him on TUF. He's been impressing me.
Meathead has been matched up well...
Cant help but like/respect the guy for over achieving though...
...will be a :Meathead" fan here...till I got money opposite him..then off the meat train...
I was surprised at how powerful and accurate his punches were. I also liked how he went for a diving punch failed, then tried it again.
I like him
ohhh so your a FRONTRUNNER
LOL JK HE GREW ON ME ASWELL
i still ROFL when i think about Meathead telling Rashad he spoke with his wife before his fight on tuf. rashad-" Oh you talked to her on the phone?" "Naw, *points to head". rashad-" ohhhh" ??? LOL

My wife still ROFL's also! It was so hard not laugh when I saw how he reacted to it. That's why I had to look down at the ground. It made us really happy that you just brought that up
