The Illinois native and standout defensive end at Purdue University earned All-Big Ten honors in 2000 and subsequently earned his way into the NFL where he played six seasons as a member of the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings. Mitrione ultimately found his way into MMA where he became a high-level competitor, defeating the likes of the late Kimbo Slice, Derrick Lewis and Gabriel Gonzaga.

Royce Gracie

Nimi Gracie on synonyymi MMA, ja se on suurelta osin Royce Graciella, mies, jonka katsotaan keksineen urheilun sellaisena kuin me sen nykyään tunnemme. Voittaja muutamien ensimmäisten UFC tapahtumia, Gracie purkaisi useita vastustajia yhdessä yössä, joista monet olivat paljon suurempia kuin hänet. Moniin vuosiin ei ollut vastausta Gracie Jiu-Jitsu -tekniikkaan, jonka hän toi taisteluun. Tänään, on vaikea löytää MMA-taistelijaa, joka ei olisi harjoitellut brasilialaista jiu-jitsua, jonka hänen isänsä keksi. Helmikuussa v 2016, Gracie julkaisi otsikon "Bellator 149", tapahtuma, joka rikkoi yrityksen katsojaennätykset, jotka ovat säilyneet ennallaan tähän päivään asti..
