FORT HOOD, Texas – It seems like everywhere Joey Beltran turns the last few months, there’s Matt Mitrione.
Beltran fought Mitrione at UFC 119 in September in Mitrione’s Indianapolis back yard, losing a decision. A few weeks after the fight, Mitrione spent a day working with Beltran and the team at Alliance MMA outside San Diego. And the next thing Beltran knew, he was signing up for a fight against Pat Barry – the same Pat Barry who is a regular training partner of Mitrione.
Beltran said Thursday that comments he claims Mitrione made after working with Team Alliance had him a little perturbed – and he admitted he might still be a little perturbed, but that he won’t let it get in the way of his heavyweight tussle with Barry on Saturday’s Fight for the Troops 2 card.
“We had some candid conversation, where I thought we were talking amongst boys,” Beltran said. “He came out, and it was all good – we opened our doors to him at Alliance MMA. He came through, worked out and we had a conversation, talking about the fight and how it went down, and he said some disrespectful stuff afterward. And we’ll address that when the time comes. Let’s just say that I’ve got a special place in my heart for Matt Mitrione, and it will always be there. (But) it doesn’t matter. I’ll be able to focus on Pat Barry.”

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.

FORT HOOD, Texas – George Roop knows the meaning of “home sweet home.”
After living and training for a year in Las Vegas, the UFC featherweight moved back to his native Tucson, Ariz., last year not long before his fight against Chan Sung Jung – a fight that got the MMA world’s attention, big time, thanks to his Knockout of the Year-candidate kick to the Korean Zombie’s head.
In October 2009, Roop had to endure the death of one of his three children – his 7-year-old son Julian, who had battled seizures practically since birth. He fought a month later, earning his way into the WEC after the UFC cut him loose earlier in the year.
