New York, Oct 29 (THAINDIAN News) Ex-NFL defensive tackle Matt Mitrione won a majority decision over UFC veteran “Punk Haole” Scott Junk (6-2-1) by judges’ scores of 20-18 twice and 19-19 in an exhibition fight on Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter 10 on Wednesday night. It was an interesting fight for quite some time was a really close one as well.

“Holy shit! Now that’s a fight,” shouted UFC President Dana White between rounds of the two-round exhibition match. It was an extremely close one for over two-and-a-half minutes. Dana White had picked the Hawai’ian Junk who lost by heel hook submission to “Hungarian Nightmare” Christian Wellisch (8-5) at UFC 76 in Los Angeles in September 2007.

Fighters.com scored the first round 10-9 in favor of Mitrione after Junk salvaged the second half of the round with right hooks. Otherwise, it could’ve turned the other way around and have been a 10-8 round for Mitrione.

Fighters.com again scored the second round 10-9 in favor of Mitrione, but the second round was much closer than the first, and could easily have gone either ways.

White was generous after the fight, saying, “Those two stood in front of each and threw bombs. Both took some big shots.”
