"It's the second most boring fight in boxing history, second to Pacquiao-Mayweather," he said. "It's such a minuscule chance for Conor to win this fight. I mean, the best punchers in the world master their craft and can't touch Floyd. I predict Conor gasses in three, four or five rounds and Floyd actually finishes somebody."
"I had never had a fight, but I was big and obnoxious," Mitrione said. "I went on the show just to put bottles on TV. I didn't want to get punched in the face for a living."
"I like the fact that over time, Fedor did not show well against lefties and big bodies and powerful long punchers, because I'm all of the above,Wholesale China Jerseys," Mitrione said. "I'm awkward,http://www.theworldsoccersshop.com/Belgium-Mousa-Dembele-Jersey.html, I don't even know what I'm going to do before I do it. I also have really sexy calves, maybe that will distract him."
Still, Mitrione likes his chances.
It might not be one MMA fans want to hear, though.
It's a big payday at the age of 38, and a crossroad fight in Mitrione's accidental career. Though Emelianenko (36-4) is 40 and has only fought twice in the last five years, he's still one of the big names in MMA and a potent opponent for any heavyweight.
Mitrione was selling a line of sports drinks after his NFL career ended when he became friends with Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth, who was putting on an MMA show and thought he should try the sport. That didn't happen, but it ended up getting him on the Ultimate Fighter reality show,Cheap Jerseys From China Outlet, where a win over Kimbo Slice gave his fledging career the boost it needed.
Mitrione would go on to have a 14-fight career in UFC, where he went 9-5, losing his last two fights. He soured on the organization, though, in a dispute over pay and bonuses, and signed with Bellator last year.
Mitrione gets a chance to show that when he meets the Russian heavyweight in the co-main event of the pay-per-view card at the Garden. The fight was supposed to happen in February before Mitrione pulled out with kidney stones, and he's eager to make up for lost time.
After a career in the NFL, UFC and now Bellator, though, Mitrione pretty much says what he wants.
"I understand who Fedor is, I get it," Mitrione said. "But I'm not in awe of him; he's just a dude with a good name. My dude, I firmly believe on any given day I'm the best heavyweight in the world."
The fighter who calls himself "Meathead" and finds it hard to stop talking won both his Bellator fights before getting a lucrative shot on the organization's second pay-per-view card, in a co-main with a fight between Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva.
That kind of talk gets Mitrione attention,China Jerseys Wholesale, just like Conor McGregor's mouth got people to pay attention to his fists. And, of course, Mitrione has an opinion about McGregor's planned Aug. 26 boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Matt Mitrione likes to start sentences with "My dude," which could be a mistake Saturday night when he meets Fedor Emelianenko in an MMA heavyweight match at Madison Square Garden.
That sport was football, where Mitrione played the defensive line at Purdue — he roomed with Drew Brees — and later had stints with the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings. His heroes growing up were not fighters,Cheap Jerseys Supply, but guys like Barry Sanders, Walter Payton and Reggie White.
"It's going to be awesome to go in there and punch a legend in the face," he said. "It's my biggest fight ever, and for that I'm really fortunate because my life was always predicated on a different sport."作者:

The sugar industry, struggling to regain its footing after last year recording one of its worst performances in two decades, is to receive a $1B cash injection from government.During an early morning visit yesterday to the Enmore Estate, East Coast Demerara, geared to bolster confidence in workers, Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud, and a team from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), also announced that a special unit has been set up to deal specifically with resolving issues related to National Insurance Scheme (NIS) contributions and benefits.The visit is one of a number planned across the country by the Ministry and GuySuCo to further stabilize an industry uneasy with the pace of wages and salary negotiations.NIS benefits had been a sore point for workers who claimed over time that years of contributions to the state-run scheme had just disappeared. The unit will take note of workers’ complaints and liaise directly with NIS.Yesterday, Persaud, quelling workers’ demands for an urgent resolution to the pay issue which failed last year after GuySuCo indicated that it had no money, pointed out that negotiations between the Corporation and the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU) have started early, with another meeting set for today.Already, the issue over the outstanding Annual Production Incentive (API), which was not paid last year, has been sent to the Ministry of Labour in an effort to reach an agreeable position.With an ambitious 300,000 tonnes of sugar targeted for 2011, Enmore alone has around 25,Dan Hampton Bears Jersey,000 tonnes. Yesterday, workers were unsure if the 12,000 tonnes set for this crop will be met, as attendance was one of the main problems last year.According to Persaud yesterday, this year’s first crop is looking good, with attendance averaging a heartening 72%. Last year, less than half of the harvesters turned up for duty, opting to work elsewhere. It is a growing problem facing an industry which five years ago faced a shortage of sugar cane and little work for harvesters.Last year, the situation changed dramatically with GuySuCo announcing that more than 400,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys,000 tonnes of cane had to be carried over to this year’s first crop because there were no workers.Also at the meeting with workers yesterday were GuySuCo’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Paul Bhim, and his deputy, Raj Singh, along with senior officials of the Ministry.Government yesterday announced that it is preparing to release $1B to GuySuCo to help pay debts and workers, as well as to finance key projects.The Minister urged that a level head be maintained this year between both the union and GuySuCo, so that a 5% one-off payment made by government during Christmas could become a permanent part of their remuneration. Negotiations,NFL Jerseys China, he assured,Jerseys From China, will continue for increases for this year.According to Persaud, while many have called for a closure of the industry,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, government will not be heeding these calls.As a matter of fact, last year, government plugged $2B into the industry to help GuySuCo pay-off debts. Part of the money also helped to pay workers a one-off 5% in December,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, which amounted to almost $750M.Regarding the critical importance of sugar to Guyana, Persaud pointed to Belize which to bail out its industry approved over US$6M in a loan. This government, however, did not go in this direction, instead injecting significant amounts of money to support the sector.Questioned whether a number of Guyanese sugar workers who would be laid off as Barbados moves to introduce cost-cutting measures, the official said that he has called for a GuySuCo meeting to find out what could be done.This year, a sugar packaging facility at Enmore is expected to be commissioned to the tune of US$12M. That facility and the Enmore factory, which is slated to be modified, were inspected yesterday.With more investments this year targeting the acquisition of new technology, including the Bell Loaders, which were intended to reduce the dependence on harvesters actually lifting the canes, the officials were convinced that the targeted 300,000 tonnes could be met, once all hands are on deck.On top of that, sugar prices have risen about 40% over 2010 levels with cane yields said to be excellent, two very heartening signs, the officials said.Last year, sugar production fell to 220,000 tonnes with GuySuCo claiming debts to the tune of $7B.
