The sport of mixed martial arts has come to be the world’s fastest growing sport for several different reasons over the past few years.
One obvious reason is the fighters themselves, who dedicate their lives to the sport they deeply love.
But it’s the fighters’ personalities that bring a whole new excitement to MMA.
Every sport has its comedians, those who don’t say a word, and of course, the cry babies.
MMA is no different, as it is home to some of the world’s biggest whiners.
When something doesn’t go their way, these fighters either whine, throw a fit or cry their eyes out.

In the co-main event of the evening, heavy-hitting Cheick Kongo entered the Octagon to take on the up-and-coming heavyweight Matt Mitrione.
Mitrione, who appeared to be off the wall in his entrance to the Octagon, didn’t show the same energy when the fight began.
Both Kongo and Mitrione circled around for the first three minutes without either fighter engaging in on the other.
Fans in the Mandalay Bay Event Center let out a loud cry of “boo’s” until Mitrione finally threw a strike.
But, the meritocracy continued as neither fighter made it a point to attack the other.
The energy picked up in the second frame when “Meathead” Mitrione thew a combo that appeared to hurt Kongo.
But, the strike proved to be ineffective as Kongo pushed forward.
When the second round was coming to an end, Mitrione landed a huge strike but it was a tad too late.
Kongo bounced back in the third round proving he was in much better condition than his opponent.
When Mitrione was covered up, Kongo connected on a massive body shot followed by a right hook and eventually had Mitrione on his back.
While many felt Mitrione captured the first two rounds, Kongo continued to push through and landed fatal blows to every part of Mitrione’s body.
When arguably the worst fight of the night came to an end, Kongo’s hand was raised via unanimous decision.
In the loss, we learned Mitrione had no sense of urgency in finishing the fight as he saw Kongo steal the fight away in the third and final round.
For Kongo, despite a slow start, proved to be the better striker and connected on the only takedown of the evening.
With the win, Kongo continues to establish himself as a legitimate heavyweight contender.

Since entering the UFC in February of 1997, Vitor Belfort has been one of the best fighters the organization has seen.
But, it hasn’t always been smooth sailin’ for Belfort, as he’s had his fair share of bumps and bruises along the way.
