Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva Preview
Bryce Mitchell is still on the UFC roster despite calling Hitler a “good guy” earlier this year, which drew massive backlash. Maybe Dana White & Co. think all that nonsense was due to the damage Thug Nasty suffered in the fight with Josh Emmett.
As a reminder, Emmett knocked him out cold at UFC 296, which was one of the nastiest KOs in recent memory. Mitchell did bounce back after that loss with a KO win over Kron Gracie.
However, there’s a caveat – Gracie’s striking is so poor that he landed just six punches in that fight.
Now, Mitchell faces Jean Silva at UFC 314, a fighter who’s an expert kickboxer and who’s on a 12-fight win streak. Silva is 15-2 with 12 KOs in his portfolio and is looking for another win by this method.
