Video: Matt Mitrione's full media scrum ahead of Bellator 172

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Matt Mitrione is in position to notch the biggest win of his career and play spoiler in the process. But don’t tell him that.

Off to a perfect start in Bellator since leaving the UFC last year, Mitrione (11-5 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) takes on Fedor Emelianenko (36-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at Bellator 172 in the legend’s debut with the promotion.

There must be so much pressure on Mitrione with the legend across the cage, right? Wrong.

“Another day at the office, brother,” Mitrione said. “I think this is the first time I fought in California, so it’s a little bit different in that aspect. Other than that, really, just kind of hanging out. Same crew, same people, same whatever. That’s about it.”

Check out the video above to see Mitrione’s full media scrum.
