Alexander is a light heavy and Mitrione is 265 (big difference IMO). Beating James Thompson was pretty much B.S. and Thompson was a complete can at the time.

Mitrone is big that's for sure but I think Kimbo will fare well.

It's basically going to come down to who lands the first haymaker. Not going to see to much of a technical battle here.

If Mitrione is a big underdog in vegas I would bet on him. Fighting a guy that is a lot bigger and halfway worth a frick won't be easy for Kimbo IMO. I'd say it could go either way.

About two weeks ago it was dead even odds. I'm not sure if things have changed.

Yea we just don't know enough at all about Mitrone to say he has the advantage. I think Kimbo has the experience advantage. He was thrown into main events right from the beginning

if you've never seen mma live on the internet, dont get your hopes up. The main analyst is Franklin Mcneil a lisping black boxing reporter from Philly who literally picks every black fighter to win their fight. He has given such gems as saying that Dos Santos submitted Cro Cop on the ground proving he has a great ground game, and when Rashad picked "The Headhunter" in a Buentello fight Mcneil said "who da headhunter? You mean Kongo i guess." He is going to stroke out over Rampage vs Rashad.

apparently he doesn't do any homework but I know who you are talking about.

I like him because he does both boxing and MMA and mentioned a while back that the differences between MMA and boxing is that the whole press conference in boxing(I'm sure he's referring to Mayweather) is about 7 figure pay days and MMA is about the actual bouts and breakdowns.

Plus I just like the fact that MMA is getting more mainstream coverage. Being said that it sucks getting the results on the ticker when the fights are over seas.

Bringing this here from the Bellator thread.

Speaking of him, How is he not due another shot at GSP before Koscheck or Daley? Guy's a stud. What the hell will they do with him after he beats Alves again?
