10 Impact Signings Bellator Have Made Since 2015
7. Matt Mitrione
'The Meathead' signed with Bellator in March 2016 and hasn't disappointed. He's gone 3-0 with two TKO victories, and, most recently knocked out Emelianenko.
Mitrione's story is somewhat similar to Nelson's, as all 14 of his bouts prior to Bellator had been with the UFC over a seven year span. He had mixed success with the company, going 9-5, however his poweful hands make him a threat every time he steps in the octagon, with 11 of his 12 career victories coming by knockout.
