Matt Mitrione knows a thing or two about being
pigeonholed, and he’s not about to do that to UFC 113 opponent and
fellow “The Ultimate Fighter 10” veteran Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson.
Mitrione got a
reputation on the Spike TV series as a difficult-to-work-with brooder
that rubbed his teammates the wrong way. Ferguson already had a
reputation as an MMA greenie made famous by the good fortune of YouTube.
It’s a sport full of people with hot air, Mitrione says, and nothing is
worse than taking a competitor at face value.
