Matt Mitrione Discusses His Bellator 194 Victory

Matt Mitrione spoke at the post-fight press conference after Bellator 194 to discuss his win over Roy Nelson (via MMAjunkie). Mitrione won in the main event by majority decision. He now moves forward in the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix. He will next face the winner of Ryan Bader vs. King Mo. Below are some highlights.

Matt Mitrione on the fans booing the decision: “I don’t care (that the fans booed). I won two (rounds) to one. Anybody who doesn’t think so and thinks that (third) was a 10-8 round, I pieced him up in the first half of the first round.”

Mitrione on Nelson’s top control: “He held me down – he does a great job. He has really good top control, he’s really tight on his doubles and he’s strong and has got really good positioning. But I won the first two rounds easily – he didn’t do anything on the ground the end of the first two rounds. He did a really good job in the third.
