UFC on FUEL TV 9 Main Card Results - Matt Mitrione vs Phil De Fries

Matt Mitrione def. Phil De Fries by KO at :19, Round 1

by John Haigh @JohnBjayHaigh

After back to back loses Mitrione needed to make a statement in his next fight and he sure did at UFC on FUEL TV 9.

Round one: DeFries tries for a take down but its stuffed, he tries again but runs in to a brick wall. Mitrione dives on top landing bombs laying DeFries out cold after all of 19 seconds of the round. I don’t think DeFries landed a punch, one of the contenders for KO of the night.

This fight saw Mitrione get himself back on track and could very well have ended De Fries employment with the UFC. Mitrione now has a MMA record of 6-2 with all the fights coming in the UFC. De Fries record now slips to 9-3-1 MMA after being 8-0-1 in November '11. De Fries UFC record is now and could end 2-3.
