The match-up is definitely not as interesting as the original fight, but as far as replacements go it's not bad. Even though I think the biggest advantage Nelson has is in the ground game, I can see him keeping it standing.
Mitrione has heavy hands but I'm sure Nelson will be feeling very confident in his chin, and will want to win spectacularly.
