Bryce Mitchell Reveals Purpose Behind Weight Change
Throughout an interview with James Lynch for Home of Fight, Bryce Mitchell was requested about his determination to modify issues up with the transfer to bantamweight. Mitchell admitted that his UFC 314 defeat to Jean Silva was an eye-opener.
“I just about made up my thoughts proper after this final battle,” Mitchell stated. “The man was a lot larger than me, and I actually felt it within the second spherical. Within the first spherical, clearly I may inform he was larger and powerful, but it surely was actually within the second spherical the place I felt it. I believe that I’m a 35er, my weight’s already come down fairly a bit since I began weight-reduction plan. I received this name two weeks in the past, I believe. So, I’m enthusiastic about it. The whole lot’s going good.”
After holding an undefeated report of 15-0, Mitchell has gone 2-3 in his final 5 outings. The losses had been in opposition to robust competitors in Silva, Josh Emmett, and former UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria. Mitchell is hoping that the transfer to bantamweight can get him again on the trail to his purpose, which is capturing UFC gold.
