He also played in the NFL - then gained some notoriety as a pain in the butt on The Ultimate Fighter heavyweight season.

Per Wikipedia: Mitrione competed in Toughman Contests while he was still in high school, and finished second in a tournament in his hometown of Springfield, during his sophomore year of college.

Mitrione won in the long run of the fight game...
I'd say he lost. I can't imagine making a living this way. I can't imagine looking at myself looking like he does in that picture and not deciding at that minute that there has to be a better way to pay the bills.

You can say the same about any former NFL zombie of CTE

I watched this fight and he got a beaten by this guy Brown. Yes he got poked in the eye a couple of times but that's not what did the damage. It was a big fat fist to that eye and it immediately blew up! One of the worse looking hematoma I have ever saw. So bad they wouldn't even show it once the fight was over. I Agree with other poster, theirs plenty of better ways to earn a living than getting your face bashed in.
