UFC Matt Mitrione eager to test Christian Morecraft’s meddle

Matt Mitrione is never afraid to speak his mind and tell it like he sees it, which, along with his aggressive and exciting fighting style, has endeared him to UFC fans since his Octagon run began in late 2009.

His latest opponent, Christian Morecraft, hasn’t been bashful in claiming his intentions for this Sunday’s heavyweight bout at UFC on Versus 4.  But instead of engaging in a war of words Mitrione is pulling a Mark Cuban, laying (relatively) low and waiting for his actions in the cage to state his case while his opponent does all the yapping.

“If you say you’re going to beat the piss out of me on a video then I’m really excited to see what you’re going to come up with,” Mitrione said during his appearance on MMA Beatdown radio on the MMA DieHards Radio Network. “If you want to start writing checks (with your mouth) then I’m going to make you try to cash them.”
