UFC 137 Fight Card: Matt Mitrione Vs. Cheick Kongo Announced For Fall Fight
UFC President Dana White recently announced that former NFL player-turned mixed martial artist, Matt Mitrione, will put his undefeated record (5-0) on the line when he collides with Cheick Kongo.
Here is what White had to say:
“Both men are coming off big knockout wins at UFC Live in June.”
Mitrione notched a second round stoppage of Christian Morecraft, while Kongo scored a thrilling come-from-behind knockout victory over Pat Barry.
UFC 137 will feature a "super" main event between UFC and Strikeforce welterweight champions, Georges St. Pierre and Nick Diaz, respectively. Another 170 pound clash -- B.J. Penn vs. Carlos Condit -- is expected to serve as the co-featured fight of the night.
