When Tim Hague was recently asked by MMACanada.net his thoughts on Matt Mitrione, the big Canadian shied away from openly criticizing his opponent on Saturday night at Fight for the Troops 2.
“I don’t want to criticize the guy because he’s 3-0 in the UFC,” he said, “but there’s just a couple of things I’ve picked up on that I think I can exploit. I don’t really want to put him out there too much, but I think I can get the victory.”
Not the harshest pre-fight trash talk you’ve ever heard, right?
Well, when we played the clip for Mitrione on Wednesday’s episode of The MMA Hour, it seemed to light a fire under the former NFL lineman.
