Matt Mitrione vs. Christian Morecraft in the works for UFC on Versus 4
Posted on April 11, 2011, 10:50 PM by Joey SantosusA Heavyweight clash between Matt Mitrione and Christian Morecraft has reportedly been added to the UFC on Versus 4 line-up.
MMAJunkie.com first reported the development, while UFC officials have confirmed that verbal agreements are in place for the bout.
Mitrione (4-0) made his professional MMA debut under the UFC banner following a stint on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter. After knocking out castemate Marcus "Big Baby" Jones at the show's finale to secure his spot on the roster, the Duke Roufus product has strung together a four fight winning streak with additional victories over Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson, Joey Beltran, and most recently Tim Hague.
Morecraft, meanwhile, recently got back in the win column with an impressive submission victory over Sean McCorkle at UFC Fight Night 24. Prior to the win, he suffered his first career defeat against Stefan Struve in his octagon debut. The loss snapped a six-fight winning streak, all of which came via first round stoppage while competing for local Massachusetts promotions.
UFC on Versus 4 is set to take place June 26th from the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and will broadcast live and free on the Versus network.

Hope he stops meatheads streak.
meatheads gonna crush him. his jits looked awesome against kimbo n its prolly better than ever. plus he's always a punch away from victory. he's like a heavyweight dominic cruz with knockout power(just not as good wrestlin')
I dont what it is, but I love meathead (no homo) im excited everytime he fights, and he is very likable
he keeps looking better every time he fights.
WAR MEATHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitrione is doing good he's improving every fight and exciting plus he moves like a MW at 265
if you would of told me when he was on tuff that meathead was going to turn out the way he has i would of laughed mt ass off. he needs to work on his takedown D but he is turning out to be a really well rounded fighter
His fight against Kimbo showed he has all round skill and bags of potential. I don't know why they didnt pair him off against Carwin since they were struggling to get carwin a decent opponent for his comeback fight.
Meathead will win this,
I'm not so impressed with Morecraft, when striking he leaves his chin out and unprotected, Struve caught him...surprised McCorkle didnt.
Meathead vs Bonehead :D
Meathead is a wank...
MITRIONE WILL KICK HIS ASS. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL WITH MORECRAFT.
dont under estimate morecraft. hes got really good gnp
I love Mitrione. I won't be shocked to see him as champ, one day.
