What the heck! Who wins? Is this fight ruled a draw...lol. Would they fight a fourth round at that point?

It was one of his first pro fights and he absolutely decimated this bohemoth in the first round. Saw him in a downtown Little Rock the next night, celebrating a little no doubt, and can honestly say that Mike was a cool motherf*****. I too heard that he was the strength and conditioning coach for the Razorbacks and ran up this mountain road that wraps around L.R. every morning...with crazy amount of weights. Whether or not it's truth... Mike Wessel is a beast and will most definitely take out Marcus the Black Abominable Snowman. I saw Mike in action while on a business trip to Little Rock back in 08.

The mitrione/junk fight was atrocious. All this talk of "throwing bombs" is ridiculous. Both gassed in the first round like alot of the fights this season and majority of the punches thrown were a waste. Yes, heavyweights. I get it. But the lack of conditioning this season is embarrassing. Maybe it should be a prerequisite for fitness testing to be on the show. We miss out on seeing a fighters true showcase of ability when it only lasts 3 minutes. Then all we get to see is how well he keeps standing with limited blood flow. Anyway. Good luck with your endeavours. Mike,

Matt just annoys me to no end.. One minute, he's complaining about his shoulder, the next minute, he's trying to act all tough and fight his own TEAMMATE. Once the fight started it looked like Junk already wanted to be out of there.. I thought for sure that Matt was going to get a TKO soon.. But, Junk turning into a human punching bag actually ended up totally draining Matt.. And then it was just two dudes, tired as hell, making embarrassing attempts at hurting the other.. And because of that takedown in the second, I thought it was going to a 3rd round.. Also, I'm with Makington, I cringed last night when they announced you vs. Marcus.. Because I had Marcus picked as a favorite since the beginning of the show, and now I have to watch him go against our very own blogger :( Either way, it should be a hell of a fight..

Isnt Marcus the florist?? The Juggernaut cant lose to a freakin florist.

But like Rashad said, "I would've addressed it then and there", meaning whenever Matt was informed, he should have just talked to Madsen and called him out on it. By the way, Wes Sims' ninja creep was *hilarious* I was laughing so hard XD I have to add that even though I thought it was a bit bogus for Matt to solve his problem with Madsen the way he did, it’s a real b*tch move to talk crap to someone after they leave the room, I have no patience for that.

True, Junk caught him good towards the end of the round, but Junk got straight dropped what, 4 times in the first two minutes? My jaw was on the floor. Matt seems like a crazy guy, and I hate his house antics for sure, but I certainly respect his heart after this fight, as well as Junk's. IMO it should have gone to a third round but if it went to anyone after two it was Mitrione. Junk landed some explosive shots in the second but he kept letting Matt pepper him with lazy straights. Can't wait for the fight next week, good luck Wessel, I'm rootin for a Rashad sweep just cos Rampage is acting like such an ass, gotta love Big Baby though! I was incredibly surprised at the fight.

Rd 2 was a tough call, as both guys were really gassed out. Neither really did enough to win that round so giving it to Matt didnt surprise me. Matts stand up was great for about 3 min, he knocked Junk down 3 or 4 times and looked good, regardless of his personality he looked good in most of the first round. The rest of the fight sucked.
