To return in December
Mitchell will take on Kron Gracie in a featherweight matchup at UFC 310 on December 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell hasn't fought since last December, when he took a fight against Josh Emmett on short notice and suffered a KO loss in Round 1. The only other loss on his ledger is to current champion and one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the roster in Ilia Topuria. UFC 310 represents a great bounce-back opportunity, as he'll be taking on a fighter in Gracie who is regarded as a mat specialist, similar to Mitchell, with little power in his hands. At one point considered a title contender, this is the first step for Mitchell potentially getting back on track.

Destroyed by Josh Emmett
Mitchell lost to Josh Emmett via KO (punch) at 1:57 of Round 1 at UFC 296 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell accepted this fight about ten days ago. Perhaps that had an impact on the end result, but it's more likely Bryce, who had never been knocked out in his pro career prior to this bout, just got hit with a perfect shot from Emmett (which turned his lights out in an instant). Mitchell never even got a chance to get his elite ground game going. The 29-year-old Arkansas native has dropped two of his last three, so it's imperative he get back in the win column his next time out.

Steps in for Chikadze
Mitchell will fight Josh Emmett at UFC 296 on Dec. 16, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS

Gets right back in win column
Mitchell defeated Dan Ige via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Like most every other Mitchell fight, it was an ugly, grinding affair in which his elite grappling game helped him secure the victory. Bryce was battered on the feet by Ige, eventually causing a nasty cut above his eye, but he battled through on the strength of five successful takedowns. Those five tries resulted in 7:33 worth of control time. Mitchell's struggles on the feet seem likely to cost him sooner rather than late, especially when he starts to step into the Octagon with the best around at 145 pounds, but Bryce's wrestling game is a legitimate difference-maker. Mitchell improves to 7-1 in his first eight UFC bouts.

Scheduled to fight Ige
Mitchell (undisclosed) will fight Dan Ige in a featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 80 on Sept. 23, according to Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell, No. 12 in the UFC's featherweight rankings, will have to defend his spot against No. 13 Ige. Mitchell's last fight was a second-round submission loss to Ilia Topuriamore than seven months ago. Meanwhile, Ige has maintained a spot in the UFC's featherweight rankings by defeating both Damon Jackson and Nate Landwehr earlier this year.
