Matt Mitrione
A heavyweight bout between TUF 10 alum Matt Mitrione (5-1) and British fighter Rob ‘The Bear’ Broughton (15-7-1) has been officially added to this Augusts upcoming UFC on FOX 4 card.
The promotion announced the bout on Wednesday at UFC.com.
UFC on Fox 4 is expected to take place on August 4, 2012 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It’s likely this heavyweight clash will headline the undercard for the event.
Mitrione has not fought since a decision loss to Cheick Kongo last October at UFC 137. The defeat was the first of Mitrione’s career, going 5-0 as a pro all inside the UFC Octagon. His last win took place in June of last year, with a second round knockout of Christian Morecarft at the UFC on Versus 4 event.
Broughton has lost two straight and is just 1-2 in his UFC career. The English fighter lost decisions to Phil De Fries at UFC 138 and to Travis Browne at UFC 135, while winning his debut by submission at UFC 120 against Vinicius Queiroz. ‘The Bear’ had been slated to appear at the UFC 142 card against Edinaldo Oliveira but was forced off the card.
