A few more clean strikes sent Mitchell to the canvas. It is pertinent to note that both fighters held an unblemished record of 14-0 and 8-0 prior to this fight. It was the first stain on the 14-0 clean sheet of Bryce Mitchell turning it to 14-1 and pumping Topuria’s record to 9-0.

Mitchell was reputed to be the better grappler of the two fighters. But Topuria turned everything around as he controlled Mitchell on the ground as well. A takedown from Topuria looked as if he was manhandling Mitchell. He finally caught Mitchell in a triangle choke, which proved too much for him and he decided to tap out.

But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists.
