LEDYARD, Conn. – Perhaps the heavyweight division in the UFC should be on notice: If you call out Matt Mitrione , he’ll answer, and you might not like what winds up being the voice on the other end of the receiver. On Friday, that voice came in the form of a fairly vicious 41-second knockout of Derrick Lewis, who used his first-round knockout win over Guto Inocente at the TUF 19 Finale in July to call for a fight with Mitrione. Mitrione took offense to the way in which Lewis asked for the fight, but ultimately saved his response for UFC Fight Night 50 and became the first fighter to stop Lewis , dispatching him in quick order. “The only thing that really fired me up was that the dude was going to call me out by name,” Mitrione told MMAjunkie at the post-event news conference at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn
