Bryce Mitchell and Charles Rosa were to fight at UFC Fight Night 174 on May 2. However, their fight has been moved to the blockbuster UFC 249 card at Vystar Memorial Veterans Arena. The fighters have begun the trash-talking to position themselves as the best. However, ‘Thug Nasty’ laughed off Rosa’s claims and cited an incident that kept him out of action for 7 months. 

Bryce Mitchell brushes off Charles Rosa’s statements ahead of UFC 249

He Tweeted, “I ripped my nuts in half and almost lost my w***er u think I’m worried about a limb.“

In August 2018 the fighter explained his weird injury in a Tweet. 

“so i was gunna train today but i ripped my n*****k in half. im bout to get stitched up. I was holdn a board over my head with a drill n my pants. i was sizin up the board n the drill went off n tangled my n**s up n it. I dropped the board and reversed the drill and untangled my n*****k but they was ripped n half. im serious too lol.”

‘Thug Nasty’ returned in March 2019 and beat Bobby Moffet in a three-round unanimous decision. The fight claimed the “fight of the night” award. Later in the year, he beat Matt Syles via a twister at UFC on ESPN: Overeem vs Rozenstruik which secured him submission of the year 2019.

He will be looking to extend his UFC win streak to 4. Furthermore, he will attempt to record his 10th submission in all MMA fights. 

Rosa did not back down and wrote, “you should be. But don’t worry, I got your camo sling covered. I’ll bring it to UFC 249 weigh-ins.”
