After an errant chunk of calcium scrapped this fight at UFC 172, Matt Mitione and Fedor Emelianenko finally threw down... and it didn’t last long.
Round one of their Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Silva co-main event showdown started with a typically stoic Emelianenko holding the centre of the cage while Mitrione stayed light on his feet, looking for an opening. Both men ended up pulling the trigger at the same time and - on a night of shocking finishes - we came agonizingly close to a rare double knock-out. Both men landed right hands at exactly the same time and each of them landed on the seat of their shorts.
