Yes i thought he was pretty average
Check out YouTube for the Invicta fights, Cyborg fight was pathetically over matched, but see Rose Namajunas winning with an insane flying armbar.
Matt Mitrione has been suspended pending an investigation into recent comments on transgender fighter Fallon Fox. He apparently called her a disgusting freak! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Edit, here's the link.

I got the impression from watching that program on Channel 5 about the MMA Wives and Girlfriends, that Freakshow was a very homely guy and didnt like being away from his family. To me he didnt seem to have the hunger or desire to make it at the very top but Im sure hell do ok on the local circuits.
I thought it was all in the context of a man beating up women , although it was a tad OTT IMO.What did others make of it?
That was a sick move.
What does having his UFC contract suspended actually mean ? He gets paid after each fight; inbetween fights what's he losing out on whilst under 'suspension' ? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
His comments were not that bad, IMO. I think he's got a case though it was worded to entertain.
I suspect it just means he won't be booked for another fight until the investigation (whatever that entails) is complete.
As for what he said, I thought it was a bit rough. I am firmly in the camp that thinks there is no place for Fallon Fox in competition, but to suggest that he/she does it out of a sick fantasy of battering women is nonsense. And the Buffalo Bill comparison? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Honestly wouldn't surprise me if they cut him. He was already on the brink and saved his job by winning at the weekend, but the UFC are all about being PC ever since Dana's infamous Loretta Hunt rant.
Anyway, I'm signing out folks, heading to India for some charity work today, back around the 20th. Enjoy the fights!
Mittrione always looks to shock a bit.He's always done that on the Mittrione Minute.
Storm in a tea cup.
Although I could see UFC cutting him because he wouldn't take the Daniel Cormier fight.
i hope they dont cut him is quite entertaining imo and the HW division is pretty weak as it is.
