2. Matt Mitrione
Matt Mitrione may not have the best record in the world, but considering how all of his fights have been in either the UFC or Bellator, I think he has done pretty good for himself. Even better considering how Mitrione was only released from the UFC due to his controversial comments over the transgender community. While this is not a good business move, and I do not condone his comments, should a world class fighter be cut from the premier MMA promotion over anything other than his performance?
“Meathead” has managed to stay on top of the Bellator Heavyweight division since his departure, and has been one fight away from a title shot throughout his entire run. I think that he could easily still knockout UFC fighters like Alexander Volkov, or even former champion Cain Velasquez.
