Matt Mitirone delivers KO in debut, possibly faces Oli Thompson in 3 weeks at Bellator 158

Just minutes after making a successful Bellator debut, Matt Mitrione already has a fight booked.

Mitrione, who recently left the UFC to join Bellator, delivered a first-round knockout in his debut at Friday's Bellator 157, defeating Carl Seumanutafa. However, that victory wasn't flawless, as Seumanutafa dropped Mitrione with a big right hand early in the first round.

During his post-fight interview, Mitrione said that he didn't "remember" getting dropped in the fight.
