Mitrione scores quick TKO at Fight for the Troops 2

On a football playoff weekend, former NFL player Matt Mitrione shined, TKOing Tim Hague in the co-main event of Fight for the Troops at Ft. Hood on Saturday. 

Mitrione dropped Hague early in the second round, then finished the job with a straight left. Mitrione jumped on top of Hague and delivered hammer fists until referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the bout at 2:59 in the first round.

"I wanted to be a 260-lb. Dominick Cruz," Mitrione said of his quick movement throughout the bout, referring the the UFC bantamweight champion who is known for his outstanding movement. "I want to get tested. I want to fight. I want to get that piece of gold."

Mitrione has steadily improved since his time on the 10th season of "The Ultimate Fighter." He now has four straight wins in the UFC. Hague was fighting in the Octagon again after taking two fights outside of the UFC.

Rashad Evans turns to The Force to train for his bout with 'Shogun'

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua has plenty of weapons to use against Rashad Evans, so "Suga" had to get creative when training for their March title bout. He had to turn to Jedi powers.

With his own Yoda, Greg Jackson, looking on, the padawan hones his mind-control skills. Jedi Knight will pay off, as the ability to sense danger, control minds and drain life force could come in handy against Shogun. Now, if only light sabers were allowed in the Octagon...

Thanks to Cage Potato for the heads up.
