Destroyed by Josh Emmett
FeatherweightUFC
December 16, 2023
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.

Gets right back in win column
FeatherweightUFC
September 23, 2023
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.

New opponent found

April 16, 2023
Mitchell will fight Movsar Evloev in a featherweight bout at UFC 288 on May 6 in Newark, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
This is the second time a Mitchell-Evloev fight has been scheduled. The first was prior to UFC Fight Night 214, which Evloev withdrew from because of an undisclosed injury. That event ended up being when Mitchell last fought and suffered his first loss, via submission (arm-triangle choke) by Ilia Topuria. But currently, the Topuria defeat is Mitchell's only blemish across his seven-fight UFC career.
